- Some colonies will have many rooms and many links, but no path between `##start` and `##end`.
- Some will have rooms that link to themselves, sending your path-search spinning in circles, and some will have too many/too few ants, no `##start` or `##end`, duplicated rooms, links to unknown rooms, rooms with invalid coordinates, and a variety of other invalid or poorly-formatted input. In this cases the program will return an error message `ERROR: invalid data format`.
