That maze reminds me of Walt Disney's demonstration of a chain reaction in Disney's presentation of "Our Friend the Atom" back in the 50s.

He tossed a single ping pong ball onto a table with just one mouse trap. Nothing happened.

He filled the table with mouse traps and threw a single ping pong ball onto it. That one set off a mouse trap, which launched another ping pong ball, which set off another, which set off another, until all the mousetraps had sprung and the table was in chaos.

He said that's a critical mass, the necessary condition for a chain reaction in atomic physics.

I think something like that would happen in your Poll Tacks.
