[Maths-Education] Mazes and Labarinths

[Peter Gates]

Someone has just asked me whether there is a difference between a maze and
a labyrinth. Now i have a feeling there is, but cant remember what it is,
or where to look. Without any jokes about government departments, does
anyone know the difference or where I might find a resource for it?

I have a suspicion it is something to do with patterns and structure.
