Three mice are set loose one at a time in a maze. They each try to
+document their time in different ways. The maze fits within a 6 by 13
+grid. Not every mouse traverses every square (you can get the unique
+answer anyhow).

+I woke up to unfamiliar magenta walls and a blue floor lit from above
+with wide spotlights. I had a moment of panic when I realized I had my
+trusty blue pen, but no notepad beside me. I would have to rely on my
+memory. You see it was my first assignment as a new reporter for the
+Lab Rat Rag and I was in a new maze. The first thing I saw was that I
+was at the dead end of a hallway extended out in front of me. I
+decided that a smart move would be to mark my way on the floor, so if
+I ever came that way a second time I would not go the same way
+twice. But to save ink (and time) I would only mark which way I went
+if there was a choice.
+
+
+I went a little ways along the hallway. Soon there was an opening on
+my left and the hallway ahead looked like it deadended a ways forward
+so I drew an arrow on the floor pointing left and turned to go through
+the opening.
+
+
+To my dismay I then stepped out into a hallway that was completely
+dark in both directions (it stretched out to my left and to my right).
+ wasn't sure which direction to go but the left looked shorter so I
+bent down to make an arrow, but my pen didn't show up in the darkness
+and I had to pause and think about my maze algorithms class for a
+minute. I reasoned that it would be safest if I always took the
+leftmost branch when I couldn't mark my way.
+
+
+When I reached the end of the hallway there was an opening on my right
+which I took (there being no other choice). But no sooner had I
+stepped out of the dark hallway, then I had another choice: Right or
+straight ahead. My first impulse was to turn right since straight
+ahead looked like more darkness and I wanted to be able to use my
+pen. But when I looked down the hallway to my right I saw no openings,
+so I sighed and continued on forward into the darkness (first marking
+the direction I followed on the ground).
+
+
+Once entering this new dark hall I realized immediately I would have
+to turn right. I did so and walked glumly down the long hall. At the
+end I had to turn left.
+
+
+The area in front of me was lit. I was so relieved I marked my way
+even though I had no choice. I had to go straight... into
+another dark hallway, this time leading off to the left.
+
+
+About halfway down it I came to an opening on my left. I followed my
+"choice in the dark" rule and turned into the opening. After turning
+there was a short hallway to my left. But it seemed to be a dead end
+so I turned around and went back out into the long dark hall.
+
+
+I continued on to my left (the same direction I had been going prior
+to the last little "in the dark choice") and immediately saw another
+opening on my left. I took this one too, but all it had was a small
+dark cubbyhole on the right. Exasperated I went back out into the long
+hall. Only all of a sudden I realized I was almost at the end of it,
+so I continued to the end and turned right and out under another
+light.
+
+
+Ahead of me was yet another dark hallway! This time stretching right
+again. I was starting to sense a pattern here and I tell you I was
+getting sick of it. I went a little ways down it and soon found light
+openings on both my right and left. I choose left, just to be
+consistent, you understand. It was a short hallway stretching to the
+right. I could see that there were no other exits, but I thought I saw
+something on the floor at the end, so I went to investigate.
+
+
+It wasn't the cheese scoop that would have assured my career, but I
+was happy enough after I saw it, because it was this piece of paper. I
+decided I had better take the opportunity to record what had happened
+so far since I was already starting to forget.
+
+
+Next I will go back over it all and make a map and continue on. Well
+maybe after I take a nap...

This puzzle represents flags by their colour adjacency graphs. The graphs in the black circles represent country flags and each image is itself an land border adjacency graph. This allows one to deduce the values of the variables v-z and the colours a-k, and complete the graphs in the blue circles, which represent adjacent seas.
+
The countries (clockwise from top left), and seas are:
+
+
CHINA, BURMA, THAILAND, MALAYSIA, INDONESIA, JAPAN; EAST CHINA SEA
+
+
+
+
+ COLOMBIA, CUBA, JAMAICA, PUERTO RICO, ST. KITTS & NEVIS, PANAMA; CARIBBEAN SEA
+ That the blue circles represent seas is a hint to the fact that the flags therein are adjacency graphs of maritime signal flags. Ordering by the name of the sea (helpfully from A-E) gives the answer NIGHT.

Hey, puzzlers! Can you help me out? My petting zoo has been set
+loose around MIT! I need somebody to put up these lost
+posters. Fortunately the animals are all well-trained, so they've left
+us some clues.
Have you seen my Alligator? He goes by Frenchie.
Lost: Bull wearing a purple halter top.
Looking for my Cat. Last seen carrying her beige messenger bag.
Missing Dog, probably lost in his purple macbook.
Help my find my Elephant. He should be wearing his maroon brown shirt.
Let me know if you've seen my Frog. She loves being painted by strangers.
I can't find my Gorilla! He never goes anywhere without his large pink binder.
My Horse is missing! Beware: he's an actual monstrosity!
My Iguana was last seen with a blonde eating Chipotle. Let me know if you've seen her!
Check out the dedication outside the room I'm in. Take the first

Find the word with two Vs, and take its second letter.
+
+
In the back of the room, you'll see a single word surrounded by
+green on a special board. Take its first two letters.
+
+
Look for a gray sign with an arrow on it nearby. Take the fourth
+and fifth letters.
+
+
Take a peek inside the wooden cabinet just above. Take the two
+letters before "CO" in zone 180.
+
+
There's some white text written horizontally on the red wall
+outside. Take the last five letters of the first line.
+
+
Walk outside the room I'm in and look for a white arrow. Take the
+second letter of the second word on that arrow.
+

+Here in Enigma Valley Investment & Loan Information Technology, we take

+data center changes on a monthly schedule. You must use the new password that
+you get from this message.
+
+The list of passwords is of course not sent in the clear. It is instead
+protected with industry-standard evil encryption, performed on separate
+machines in case a computer is compromised. You will need a message key to
+decipher it, which you were given at the monthly operations meeting.
+
+We pride ourselves on the security of our communications. Our unbreakable
+cryptography system even has a component that has never been seen by anyone
+outside of the company. Reflect on the significance of that. So please do your
+part to keep this information secure!
+
+The message, when decrypted, contains the new passwords for all
+20 data centers, sorted alphabetically by city name. Each password is
+terminated by the letter X.
+
+Now is a great time to test your machine. If, for example, we were updating the
+passwords at two data centers in cities A and B, and giving them the new
+passwords FOO and BAR respectively, and the message key is AAA, you would

Each clue is clearly broken into two parts, and the answers to these parts
+ are two words. The first word begins with letters usually indicating an
+ opposition or negation. The prefixes used are, "A," "AB," "DE," "DIS,"
+ "IN," "IR," "MIS," "NON," and "UN." Although in most cases these prefixes
+ are not actually used in the context of negation, and often aren't prefixes
+ at all. The second word is clued by "not X" and these are the words that
+ result when those prefixes are stripped. For example, the first clue: "A
+ Pokémon is not an Egyptian god", "A Pokémon" clues "abra" and
+ "not an Egyptian god" clues "ab-ra." The letter extracted from these
+ answers is the R that begins "ra".
+
+
Taking all the first letters yields a final clue phrase. "RENOUNCES OR
+ DENIES PLEASURE IS NOT THE ANSWER." Googling the first part of the clue
+ phrase should make it clear that the answer you're going for is ABNEGATES.
+ Removing the ab prefix gives the answer NEGATES.
+
+
The title is a bonus clue, giving the words antitheses and anti-theses,
+ with theses being a straight synonym for downbeats. This clue was
+ formulated given the stipulation that DOWN must appear in the title, and the
+ creation of which is credited to Chieu Nguyen, who testsolved the
