Those silly little grey things are actually really interesting characters.
Their logic system is formed on a binary decision process.

For example - if you place one of these critters in a maze, and make the first corner a left - the next intersection they reach, they'll take a right. The intersection after that, left, and so on.

Give them another corner, and their binary decision maker will reset - and they'll take the opposite direction at the next intersection.

If applied correctly, you can either 'amaze your friends', or 'bet stupid amounts of cash safely'.

I wasted hours messing w/ these guys as a kid
