Need to clarify the "hug the left wall" technique, even at a dead end, you still follow the left wall, imagine your hand running along the walls, you'd just do a U-turn and continue to follow the left wall.
@@BanditLeader but it would've worked on every actual maze here (I don't count the obstacle courses disguised as mazes, but it worked for them too technically). They just gave up at the first dead end cause they didn't actually understand the method.
Simon: Says right, goes left. EDIT: The "stick to the left" strategy does work. You're supposed to hit dead ends as you wrap around the left side. That's how it works. It only fails if the exit is hidden inside an island. Every time they hit a dead-end and were like "oh it doesn't work," hurt me.
they acknowledge in the video that the always left strategy works, when simon abandons it he says "there's clearly an island on this one", indicating he's well aware of this fact this fucker thought he could explain mazes to the class of 1912 design a maze contest winner, whatta chump
@@LochyP Yeah, technically it can work if there are cycles in the maze but the reason the 'left/right wall" trick works is you're guaranteed to (at worst) hit every intersection so you're guaranteed to eventually get to the end of the maze. But, if one of those intersections contains a cycle you'll always go in a circle and even if you decide to break out, you may end up back at the cycle.
Hugging the left wall works as long as there's no islands. Hugging the left wall wont save you from hitting dead ends, you just turn around and continue hugging the left wall.
Watching a Minecraft video with Lewis and Simon is like time machine! I feel 10 years younger and remember the old intro song, shadow of israphel, how to survive the first night... Thanks for all the amazing content throughout the decade guys, I love you =)
@@RedSntDK that's understandable he didn't need to say anything but my heart goes out to him. Losing a pet is never easy. Hope he is feeling better I know in time he will.
Ah, classic yogs. Quote something, and they say it doesn't work without understanding how it actually works. Hugging the left of a maze won't avoid dead ends, but in a maze with one entrance and one exit of the typical style, there's essentially two halves of walls. By consistently following one side, you'll eventually wrap through to the exit. (There are, of course, exceptions to this. But I don't think that really matters when the Yogs are the folks doing the maze.)
So, Ravs is amazing at finding buttons, we've got Harry for the parcour and now Simon is doing the maze. I wonder how Lewis will do at the dropper, then.
Really loving the crowdsourcing the different challenges between the biggest brains among the yogscast strategy. While I'm more than nostalgic for a little big of brute force cheating, it is cool seeing these done mostly legit.
The design of all the different mazes were so cool! I know this is supposed to be bargain bin Diversity but I think all the different puzzles have been really good!
I was just amidst an existential crisis about the world and the universe, then this video popped onto my feed and the realisation that I've been watching the yogscast since I was a kid hit me and suddenly nothing mattering didn't matter anymore. So anyway wow simon i love that guy-
The left hug rule does work but with a few weird notes: if you come to a dead end, turn around and keep following the left hand rule (technically the rule if just to keep walking with either hand on a wall so "dead ends" don't really exist, it just means you're doing a 180 turn), it also only works for "simple mazes" (technical term, not just elitism lol) which are mazes where the walls are fully connected, if you have an island of walls that aren't connected to the rest of them the rule might not work
This is literally the best thing that could happen in my life. I am about to graduate college. Yogscast is playing Minecraft adventure maps. And Simon and Lewis are playing together. This will get me through graduation.
You know i hadn't even appreciated it was Lewis and Simon together again in Minecraft til i read the comments. I see Yogs and Minecraft and I don't think twice about Lewis and Simon being there. Think it says a lot about the impact back then
Man I've not really watched The Yogscast since 2016. Used to watch them nonstop from 2011-2016. This is bringing back so many good memories. Giving me loads of nostalgia. Yogscast just wasn't the same without Simon.
It finally happened! Not gonna lie I thought Gee was lowkey capping or something when she mentioned this on stream all those months ago. Sorry for being a doubter Prayge
9:48 The thing about milk is that it contains lactose and mammals lose their lactase enzyme that breaks down lactose after infancy, most people are lactase persistent but the 'default' is to be lactose intolerant in adulthood. That means that, while people were evolving to keep their lactase, they had lactose intolerance.
@yogscast y'all need to understand that in the last month, in this channel, this is the clip with the most views on it. And it's only been up for 6 days (as of now). Your fans want to see more of Lewis & Simon. The OGs. Gee and Ben are also amazing in this quadruple, but we've been wanting more of the cornerstones of The Yogscast 🎉
The left hug worked, you just weren't paying attention while still left hugging. If you left hug, you can only go on one wall length, which will always be the correct way unless you somehow end up in an area with four complete walls, kind of defeating the whole MAZE part. Left hugging or Right hugging, as long as you follow the same wall around all corners, will lead to the exit.
Shadow of Israphel vibes increasing 🤣 I used to love watching all of their MC videos. The nuke mini series was awesome, not to forget the yoglabs which was so much fun. Miss those times, but still love your content!!
Can I get this video with Lewis and Simon in the background with that scene from Interstellar, with Matthew McConaughey Crying and Snowfall playing. Perfection. that's literally how I am feeling.
Simon & Lewis in a main channel Minecraft video, what year is this?
Their last minecraft adventure together was *three years ago*, in their Minecraft Xmas Adventure. Let that sink in.
The best year
@What-Hapen ITS THE LAST ADV MAP I REMEMBER IN GENERAL TOO!!! HOLY SHIT 🎉
It's good ol' 2010.
Talking about a tail buttplug, we’re in 2024 alright.
that simon is a pretty funny bloke, i hope we get to see him more often! he fits right in with these guys!
you better be jokeing

my parents are back together
I’ve been binging the adventure maps since the first episode of this released and it’s been so fun!
When was the last time they played Minecraft together, jingle jam 2019?
mine aren't
Mummy and daddy finally love eachother again
Bro literally they are our parents
Simon trying to peek over the maze while Lewis coming over and finding the pressure plate right next to him was hilarious.
Best moment
Yogscast guarentee
He's trying to reinvent some kind of device that can move across surfaces without having to be lifted
It felt so natural it didn't even occur to me that Simon being here was rare. It slipped on like a comfy robe. What a treat.
Couldn't agree more ^^
It is so unbelievably good to see Simon again with Lewis on the main channel Glad to have the jaffa man back IN MINECRAFT NO LESS
Not even 5 minutes in and Simon has already made his famous Twilight joke. Its like he never left ❤
TIme stamp?
@@HighSlayerRalton 2:52, meant to say 3 but 5 sounds funnier to me
Ohh yeah, he used to do that several times. I also remember CONGRATULATIOOOOOOONS! and Lewis' TUTTI FRUTTI, among many others
4:44 I could almost hear the "I've ballsed it up" trying to escape Lewis' brain
does he not say it anymore?
I feel like Simon finding the exit but messing about too much to realise until Lewis shows up to point it out sums up their relationship
I half expected the OLD old Yogscast opening to start playing.
Christ, it's been a while. Good to see the boys together again on the same screen.
It feels like 2011 all over again and Shadow of Israphel hasn't even started yet.
With that Area11 outro aswell.
Simon and Lewis in the same video playing Minecraft is some childhood shit right there. I missed this
Holy shit. Simon and Lewis together again. Fuck. I feel so old now. And yet the nostalgia is real. Love it so much. Please do more together.
So glad Simon could be in this with his Emotional Support Gee.
Seeing Simon and Lewis inn minecraft is the embodiment off the "You are as beautiful as the day I lost you!" Picture

Yes but some maze designers know of the trick and so design their maze do it doesn't work. It's not that hard to prevent it
This bothered me so much watching them lmao

@@Khunkurisu no it really didn't work on all of them
@@BanditLeaderIn what situation would it not work. Eventually you’ll be checking every corner.
It's happening, IT'S HAPPENING, THIS IS NOT A DRILL
IT'S A HOLE, A DIGGY DIGGY HOLE
It feels like Lewis in genrally happy here, despite of all the hassle and tedious mazes...
I want too think it's because of Simon.
The joy I feel when I see Simon and Lewis playing something together is immeasurable
I like the idea of Variety having a *Variety* of teammates Lewis and Ben rotate through. It's really neat!
Simon and Lewis still implementing the "hug the left wall" since the OG days
I love that they are bringing different people everytime, love to see all the yogs doing the minecraft
After months and months of Gee getting us hyped for this video its finally here.
So glad to see simon on the channel again.
Yeah it’s insane how old these are!! Can’t wait to see them do this some more later down the road whenever we see it.
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs hope for Gee's sake she gets to see this and it lifts her spirits up.
YAYYYYY!!!!!
But Ben did say it's a bank holiday weekend which was correct a few days ago
@@Spyro5500 ....you do realise there's bank holidays every year right.

@@Cyrathil And if you end up back at the start from left hugging, hug the opposing wall and try again.

Simon and Lewis back together in Minecraft! It’s a miracle 😢
I really love the approach of doing this map with different teams for different parts, really happy to see Simon and Gee here !!
Absolutely LOVE seeing Simon & Lewis back together on Minecraft, PLEASE let this be a sign of things to come! 🙏
the nostalgia is so real in this 1, also amazing to see gee in some main channel content

Odds are, it’s probably his OG account didn’t migrate properly that would be my guess. I’m just happy to see him either way.
@@SpeedySpringTrap no i reckon he just forgot the password and had to make a new account
@@gumbowallace maybe that’s also a strong possibility either way I’m happy to see him back

SIMON! Man, I really miss having him around on the main channel, please get him over here more.
I’ve never clicked on a TH-cam video so fast in my life…..Simon and Lewis together with Minecraft again. I can finally smile
Simon?! YOU’RE ALIVE!? Thank God, I’ve been concerned as of late.
Simon lost a cat some months back, and unluckily so did Gee recently. 2024 hasn't been the best year for this cursed duo.

"It'll take three to four business days" 😂 that got me haha
Love when Simon is playing along with the crew, reminds me of the good Ole days
I've missed Simon so much! It just feels right hearing his voice in the Minecraft videos. 😊
