Well, except that mazes vastly reduce the number of possibilities and ought, therefore, to be way simpler than the ant problem
Also, I think that rats get a bit more information from their olfactory cues than steve's ants do. On the other hand, there are many ants working at once, and we are concerned, in the maze situation, with a single rat in a clean maze, a laughably over simplified problem give a rats normal way of life. It is what it is.
