    ‘Can it will be easy for them?’ Not unless they have a disturbing amount of fingers and a pact with satan granting them a permanent +5 to braille. What’s a blind man going to do with a soul anyway? He can’t even look at it. He would need about enough fingers to be able to scan every tile on a side fairly efficiently, not to mention that you would need to utilize the standard hummer-sized (but not hummer-wh running 5:1 diesel to orphan tears as fuel. supercomputer to process and store all of that simultaneous.
