Submit
18. How was Doon able to find his way through the Pipeworks effectively?

Explanation

Doon was able to find his way through the Pipeworks effectively by using a combination of methods. Firstly, he utilized a map to navigate through the Pipeworks, as it provided a general layout of the area. However, since not all places were marked on the map, Doon also employed the strategy of leaving small parts and tools as a path to places he had explored. This helped him find his way back and ensured that he didn't get lost in the complex network of tunnels. Additionally, Doon followed his dad's advice to pay attention to details and things that others may not notice. This heightened his observational skills and allowed him to spot important clues or markers that could guide him through the Pipeworks effectively.
