On all these riddles, why are there always so many people saying I didn't realize that How was I supposed to know that You should have told me that? Do none of you understand that's the point of the freaking RIDDLE? You were supposed to figure out that the rooms didn't have to be square, not be told that. And for those people complaining that there was an image of square rooms connecting with perfect right angles, yes, that was an EXAMPLE of ways in which rooms could connect. If you made the mistake of assuming that was the only way rooms could connect, that's not the fault of the people who made the video! Yeesh, people need to grow up.

Unless I'm miss understanding something the 5 rooms does work. Control room connects to room1, Room 1 connects to Control Room, Room 2, and Room 4(so far so good, Room 2 connects to Room 1, Room 3, and Room 5(So Control room is good, Room 1 is good, and so is room 2, Room 5 connects to Room 2, Room 3, and Room 4, and to finish everything up connect Room 4 to Room 3. Now everyone room from Room 1 to 5 has three doors that connect to rooms, and the Control Room is only connected to Room 1 through a door.

I also got 6th floor as the answer. but I didnt know about this graph theory. I solved it by visualizing the floor as 4 squares and 2 big rectangles. with two big rectangles at top and the bottom having 3 doors leading to each one of 3 small squares. by doing that, I got a huge rectangle (with rooms in it) and for the final 6th room, I visualized another small rectangle with only one access. yes. I am not a bright person

I think its room number 3. with three rooms adjacent and the room which are in two sides of the third room has two entrances each. then they both have two doors. and they both have a door to their adjacent room which makes three doors to them and two doors to the room in the middle. finally the middle room has also a door for going to the control room. thus it is room 3

Assuming that each room is a square with four walls, this is the correct answer; however, the number of walls and shape of each room was not specified. When using multiple shapes for each room, the floor containing five rooms is able to meet each of the conditions.

The visuals didnt maintain the unbiased idea of the riddles nodes with the rectangular rooms being implied by the animation but not explicitly stated in text. It might just be my own bias though as a player when I viewed the answer.

If they know all the criteria and the room layout why cant they just tell you the answer?
Step one: ask them why they know all that criteria and the layout of the floor
Step two: wonder why youre blue

Well this was misleading since they didn't specify what shape the rooms can have. I don't see how that graph is possible with rectangular rooms without hallways.

The animations and scenarios are nice until they obstruct the puzzle. I was thinking about it in a grid because of the way the doors were presented earlier.

Remind me to never ever get a job that has high stakes which requires logical thinking.
Maybe I should just become a McDonalds manager or something.
