Imagine you’ve been tasked with mapping the best kayaking route through an unexplored river. Paddle in hand, life jacket at the ready, and supplies for the trip are secured in your vessel. Your paddle even has a magic ability: when directed to, it will teleport you back to an established checkpoint, to save you the trouble of kayaking back upstream. You climb into position and set out to begin the journey.
