Place a fly on one of the square ends, 5 inches from either side and one inch from the bottom. Similarly, place a spider on the other square ends, 5 inches from either side and one inch from the top. The fly (having a death wish) wants to reach the spider as soon as possible. Find the shortest path (52 inches) between the fly and the spider. -- Karl Dahlke ihnp4!ihnet!eklhad
