It's not B. Why do you think it's B?

No, that's just to show the lengths of the edges of the box.
The actual shortest path would be more diagonal.

It's not B.
This is a great question because it probably seems to you all that I'm trolling, but it's genuinely, actually not B. Try to provide a proof of why it's B - you can't! Because it's not B.

I don't remember how to get the length of a third side of a triangle, but I'm pretty sure that it has to be longer than the two sides with length of 1. So even if the bug travels diagonally on the bottom square, that plus a length of 2 is already longer than the distance to any of the other corners. I guess the endpoint could be set to somewhere that isn't a corner on the top square, but wouldn't that mean it no longer has to travel the full length of the third side of the triangle? And that third side is crucial to maximizing the distance? Please let me know if I'm wrong.

You can't just endlessly redefine the problem and not allow anyone to do the same. Here, I'll further redefine: the answer is A presuming the bug has to move and cannot backtrack. That is the correct answer whether it's the one you have in mind or not. ("The distance from A to A is arbitrarily small" doesn't mean anything unless you're being willfully obtuse. A itself hasn't even been given dimensions.)

>>14866400
the shortest distance to B is not along the long edge, but diagonally across the face. Place C somewhere along the edge at the back forces you to take a longer route along the edge. the difference is small, like 0.2 something.

>>14866341
Just introduce x, y, z coordinates along the axes, make A the origin of it.
Based on the shortest path condition in OP's picture, the length of the path is simply the second degree euclidian norm of the point to reach. If you go full autism and refuse this, it is an obvious application of the triangular inequality of the metric dpace/normed vector space.
That means we need to maximize the quadratic form x^2+y^2+z^2 within the domain of the box.
HINT: the answer is fucking B.

Anonymous Tue Mar 10 10:32:24 2020 No.14866414

>>14866394
Whether it has to travel along the edges or not, A is the furthest point if it can't backtrack (obviously the point of the problem is that the bug can only move in a direct path whether on the edges or otherwise or else I can say "point X in zigzags!") You're a literal bugman doing a bugmans problem: you've set up an apparatus designed to create a specific result, and as long as you dont get that specific result you 'redesign the apparatus'. If the bug has to move and can't move in arbitrary patterns (backwards, zigzags, etc, and must move in a direct path, the answer is A.)

>>14866394
Those three points leading to B (not the same as those labelled in the image) can represent a right triangle, of which the hypotenuse is logically the longest single side and the route the bug will travel since it is the shortest combined distance. B also posseses the longest possible bottom leg of the triangle since that would be also the hypotenuse of the square face on the ground if you broke it into two identical right triangles.

Then my answer is correct, a point afloat in the center of the cube is unreachable by the bug and the time it takes to get there would be infinite. After all your questions asks about how much time it takes the bug to get to the point, not how much distance.

Sorry, the homosexual OP said the bug is confined to the surface of the """cube""" so free falling would not be allowed. The correct answer given the most recent moving of the goal posts would be that any point inside the cube but now on a surface would suffice. It would be inside the cube but unreachable and would take the longest amount of time (infinite) to reach.

Well it says "in" a cube, "in" A, so the rules given are not clear enough. So how's this, I choose the center of the cube, right in the middle. If the bug is on the outside and cannot get inside the cube he will never reach that point. If the bug is inside the cube, assuming he cannot fly, he cannot reach the point from either of the walls unless he climbs to the top and falls from the ceiling, which would still take him the longest. This is obviously some bullshit riddle rather than an actual math problem

This is more elegant, I was just brute forcing with coordinates.
From symmetry considerations, you know you will at most go through two of the faces and only the three faces not cl gaining A can be considered. You then add the length of the two line segments, posing the coordinate (only one to look for) of the intermediate point as new variable. From any given point, you then have the optimal path for any given point on the surface of the cube by differentiating this function by the new coordinate. You solve a basic bitch second degree polynomial equation and realize the sum of the two lengths abive is a linear function of the coordinates of the point to reach.
Hence B.

The thing is you pick the sides along which you travel and the distance will always be the shortest path.
In the middle diagram of my picture, the length from A to B is sqrt( 10) while in the right part it's sqrt(8) so the distance between A and B is sqrt(8).
Meanwhile whatever path you choose from A to C the distance is still sqrt(8 + 1/8), which is larger than the distance from A to B. It's OK, not everyone is born with above average intelligence like me.

What I meant, in precise terms, is that for arbitrarily small distance, you can find a curve of that distance from A to A along the surface of the box. If you're not allowed the constant curve, then the distance in terms of nonconstant curves is not defined, since there are curves of arbitrary small length but never 0.

Also your main mistake is not the one I mentioned here. Your actual mistake is thinking that the distance in one chart (the middle chart) being higher means the actual distance is higher. The middle chart is just one way you can choose the path, you also have to look at the right part of the diagram. To get the distance, you take the minimum distance of both parts.
In your case, to get the distance from A to B we don't look at the middle part, but rather the right part, because there the distance is smaller and is in fact sqrt(8).
I hope that clears things up.

What are you saying is the smallest length of a path from A to C? Show me how you calculate it.
The point of the different diagrams is that you can choose different sides along which to travel. Once you made that choice, there is only one shortest path, namely after unwrapping the sides on the plane you just take the straight line as I did in the picture.

In the middle diagram it's shorter. But that doesn't mean it's actually shorter, since the distance between A and B in the middle diagram is not the actual distance between A and B, you have to look at the shortest distance, and the shortest distance is in the right (3rd) diagram where the distance between A and B is sqrt(8).

Like I said before, what did you think, the bug can fly or dig through the box? It's intuitively obvious (as it was to me when I first saw the problem) that the bug has to stay on the surface of the box.

It's not obvious at all unless stated.

Lets review the problem as originally stated.

>There is a bug in A. Which point in a cube you should choose in order to make a bug takes longest time to reach there? Hint: Not B *Assuming bug takes shortest path from A to the point you choose

Lots of ambiguities here. First you say that the bug is IN A. This to me would imply the bug is inside the object. Second you say which point IN a cube should you choose. This implies you can choose a point in space withing the object, not necessarily restricted to the surface of the object. Third, you ask to solve for longest time to reach that point, not the longest distance to the point. You're leaving the door open for all sorts of different interpretations.

it's pretty self-explanatory, the black line shows the direct pathing the bug would take, the "Dist: xxx in" shows the distance in inches, so you can clearly see that the point B has the longest.
Red, blue and green lines shows the equation.
also, the OP image and the one you posted later were two different ones, the first one said the bug was inside the box, not outside.

Nope. Post whatever you think qualifies as proof.
But I know you won't, because you can't. In fact I'm certain you have no idea how to calculate the shortest distance between any two points on the box.
>forcing the bug to traverse the surfaces
But you're quite skilled at padding your statements in order to sound smart, which is why you're uniquely qualified to participate in the fanboy-tier debates that ravage this board.

we're trying to find the max distance here, not the minimum distance. Within the confines of the box A to B is the max distance that can be traveled.

Anonymous Tue Mar 10 15:54:58 2020 No.14867772

OP is right though.
Consider the following 2D reasoning.
Going to point B over the sides is a distance of sqrt(8) (If you reduce it to a path of a 2x2 square)
Going to point B over the top plane, however, is a distance of sqrt(10) (If you were to reduce it to a path on a 1x3 rectangle)

Because these paths are different lengths, there is a point that exists on the top plane "between A and B" (which sounds counterintuitive) with a length between sqrt(8) and sqrt(10) which is the true longest path from A.
I can't be bothered with finding it mathematically but it should follow from this description that point B is indeed not the longest path.

Now if we carefully analyze the question we are never given a specific bug which is in the box. For this reason we are going by default the fastest bug in the world which is the Horse-Fly. The Horse-Fly is however only capable of travelling its 90 mph while flying, while crawling the speed of the horsefly is considerable less. According to the specified rules of the problem, the insect MUST take the shortest distance to the chosen point. Since the shortest path to point C involves climbing a wall diagonally means that the fly is incapable of flying, as a result that would take considerably more time then any other solutions. However we never factored in the duration of time which the bug has spent trapped in it's cubic prison, since the problem proposed by OP is most likely at least several days old, the fly would've already died since they are only capable of surviving roughly 4 days without food. As a result we must consider other factors in which the bug could reach point C, considering that the adult fly can lay up to 600 eggs, we shall assume that there are 599 other eager horseflies outside the box willing to help out their fellow brother. Now the average horse-fly is able to lift 10 milligrams which is not extremely impressive, multiplying this by 599 we get 5.99 grams. Assuming the cube is made out of glass (since you wouldn't be able to see the fly otherwise), and assuming that the distance unit is in centimeters we end up with the glass box roughly weighing 390 grams. This would normally be a problem but considering that the horsefly reproduces once per year, the amount of flies would actually be 599^2 which would result in the flies having a combined force of 358 grams which may just be able to tip the box causing the dead original fly to land in spot C, as a result we must revise our original equation. Since we know the formula of falling is MGH we can derive that the furthest point for the bug to reach is indeed point B.

Trivial. The real answer is point D and it will take an infinite amount of time.

We begin by forcing the bug to undergo a wick rotation. This action converts the euclidean topology into a minkowski-space manifold, creating the option to place our point along the temporal axis. The advantage of this proves obvious, as the length along the fourth axis is the selected datum upon which our solution is measured, so we simply plot D an infinite length along this temporal axis in order to create a path that will take an infinite, and thus the longest, path possible. I have decided to call this point Delta, for obvious reasons.

I am beyond your pitiful mind games, insect.

so... it was a troll all along
here is a picture and a numerical proof, all paths are accounted for by these 3 paths
there is no possible longer/shortest path. fuck off OP

I wish I knew how to prove it formally/more generally for all solids/paths. It's actually really complex and must involve some kind of intersection between a plane and the solid.

Hey smart lit.

>In a nation’s struggle

What is 's used here, is it a contraction - then for what word?
I need to find the logic of transforming those cases into expanded English format, I need this for a toy project I'm working on where I automatically extract clauses, topics etc. of sentences.. realized it's useful and makes me read stuff more carefully.. found this by accident, while trying out a Bible software - Logos, where every phrase, every clause, every single grammatical element was split apart visually, could tag and search by and had definitions and logical operators to toy around.

Excuse me being this ignorant, I have learned English through World of Warcraft and never took formal training for the standard grammar.
