The Goulet Pens April Ink Drop is a different sort of ink Ink Drop. Each sample is labeled with a number and we can guess as to which brand and color they are for a chance to win a bottle of ink. The pressure is on in this competition. I take too long to test my samples to meet the mid month end of the contest. Still, I'm giving it a shot.
This first test maze uses just one of the April inks. This is the one that came in the bottle labeled
'Easter Egg #1”. I paired in with the Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng from last month since I was still running it out of my pen. The Egg #1 is a blue and after the dramatic Baystate Blue from last month, this unknown blue seems quite unremarkable. Someone that saw it called it regular blue. I would be very surprised if it is a Noodler's ink. It seems to me to be a J. Herbin ink, but I don't know. I should test it to see if it is waterproof to narrow down to options a little. Maybe run a spectral analysis on it. Maybe bombard it in a linear accelerator, or use a Oujia Board to really narrow down my guess. I can say that it is an ink that I do not currently own. To tell you the truth although the ink was well behaved, there is nothing about it that makes be want to purchase it.

Now about the test maze itself. It is a different sort of maze. I call it a decision maze. To use it, just ask it a question. Then starting from the question mark in the center and follow any path until you arrive at an answer. It works like one of those Magic 8 Balls you probably had when you were a kid. It is just as reliable and accurate in the answers it gives.
There is a cutting edge theory about how this type of maze works. The theory states that you subconsciously see the maze as a whole and your subconscious guides your hand along the path to the answer you mind really desires. I know this is a truly cutting edge theory because I made it up as I was typing this. Anyway it is all just for fun.
Here is the scanned and edited version.
Here is a picture of the real life maze with the few smudges.
That's it for today.
