[[Cueball]] is walking according to a certain pattern of floor tiles, which makes sense to him in his head (the same pattern was first introduced in [[207: What xkcd Means]]). But as his friend asks him why he is walking funny, he realizes that the algorithm he is using for walking on floor tiles would be so tedious and time-consuming to explain to his friend that he decides instead to simply defend himself and say that he isn't walking funny, this being far simpler than trying to show his friend exactly how his logic works. Alternatively, he is too embarrassed to explain his algorithm. | [[Cueball]] is walking according to a certain pattern of floor tiles, which makes sense to him in his head (the same pattern was first introduced in [[207: What xkcd Means]]).

Cueball's rule appears to be that he can step on any black tiles, as well as any white tiles that are horizontally or vertically aligned with them. This forces him to take an abnormal, right-angle path while turning corners rather than rounding them or taking them at diagonals. | Cueball's rule appears to be that he can step on any black tiles, as well as any white tiles that are horizontally or vertically aligned with them.
