contents We show that the supergravity solutions for 1/4-BPS intersecting systems of M2 and M5 branes are completely characterized by a single ``maze'' function that satisfies a non-linear ``maze'' equation similar to the Monge-Ampère equation. We also show that the near-brane limit of certain intersections are $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times S^3$ solutions warped over a Riemann surface, $Σ$. There is an extensive literature on these subjects and we construct mappings between various approaches and use brane probes to elucidate the relationships between the M2-M5 and AdS systems. We also use dualities to map our results onto other systems of intersecting branes. This work is motivated by the recent realization that adding momentum to M2-M5 intersections gives a supermaze that can reproduce the black-hole entropy without ever developing an event horizon. We take a step in this direction by adding a certain type of momentum charges that blackens the M2-M5 intersecting branes. The near-brane limit of these solutions is a BTZ$^{extremal} \times S^3 \times S^3 \times Σ$ geometry in which the BTZ momentum is a function of the Riemann surface coordinates.
