This is Sphere Maze level 3! The goal of this puzzle is to get from point S to the point F by going around the maze and getting past the blockers that will block the path if the “leg” of the pin is on the same side.
A unique characteristic of this design is that, while you can not twist / turn / spin the pin around its axis at any point on the maze, you can do it by going around the maze. This is based on the holonomy principle and will make this puzzle quite fun.
