sample problem 1

This is a location on Homewood Campus:

Two roads diverged in an open field
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent into a glassy wall

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Paved with lamps that climbed the path
Straight up into the fields that test
The body at its very best

I walked on to the very end
And followed each and every bend
Onto the steps of glossy white
Up this many steps that night.

ANSWER: The place referred to in the puzzle is the Ralph S. O'Connor Recreation Center. The Rec Center contains 21 stairs.
