I noticed /lit/ started using midwit when London frog's collection was released due to him using the term quite often. He seemed to equate it to people who posture as being intelligent even if they are not.

>>14957767
So lets say A is (0,0,0) and B is (1,1,2) in 3D coordinates. The farthest point from A is actually at (0.75,0.75,2) if you have to stay on the surface to get there. Picture should help clarify. Distance AB is 2sqrt(2) = 2.82 while distance AP is (sqrt130)/4 = 2.85

Now I'm the midwit. True geniuses don't start by solving the problem; first they look to see if anyone else has already done the work for them.

>> No.14960692

>>14960446
>>14960588
The furthest point is on the back edge of the upper face, 1/3 away from B. Traversing either the forward and upper face, or the forward, right, then upward face will give you length sqrt(3^2 + (2/3)^2) = sqrt((7/3)^2+2^2) ~= 3.072 > 2.85. I’m not sure where the 1/4 meme originated and I’ve never seen an explanation as to why it’s correct beyond "it’s further than b."

>> No.14960723

>>14960692
No. The prism is symmetrical along the diagonal plane. Putting on the back edge just means the ant will take a path that goes across the back vertical face.

>> No.14960754

>>14960723
You’re quite right there, I realized the same thing immediately after posting. The correct answer is still on the back edge, right in the middle. Whether the bug traverses the lower and back face or the forward and top, the length is the same, being sqrt(3^2+(1/2)^2) ~= 3.0414. Please indicate another more efficient path the bug could take to this point of concede that it is correct.
