oh god we're going to have this thread every few hours for the next six months aren't we

At least he consolidated two shitpost threads into one, or tried to at least.

>>14956200
what are some books that will make me smart enough to solve this problem?

>>14956200
It’s B retard

But it is clearly B

>>14956200
The answer to the pic is point C:
Where point C is defined along any arbitrary point in the XYZ axis, AND
We make the geometry undergo a wick rotation, giving us access to the temporal dimension (T) under the notion of imaginary time, and to treat it as a spatial dimension. Because distance is measured as a quantity, and thus we must take the absolute value, the imaginary unit being bound to our temporal plot is essentially irrelevant, as we are taking the absolute value, so it DOES increase the distance required to travel.

Additionally, it is possible to interpret the question as asking to solve for the maximum T, as opposed to distance, so being able to arbitrarily set T is obviously a great boon to the solution of this problem, however there is a stipulation; under this wick rotation, Minkowski time T is equal to -iT in Euclidean space. But again, since we may arbitrarily define T, we can easily convert this into a positive number X.

So the longest distance being point C, we plot the time coordinate at i * infinity, or imaginary infinity. It will take the fly an infinite amount of time to reach point C, and it will cover an infinite distance to do so.

Ultimately, a very trivial exercise.

It's not B.

Cringe and retardpilled.

An elementary 10th grade mathematics textbook will do. Or just use khanacademy.

>>14956631
how? I passed 10th grade and I'm unable to do it

>>14956631
You will be tortured for an eternity in hell. Satan will crush your balls every second forever for making these threads.

You deserve to be torn apart slowly by two cars which have ropes nailed to the bones in your head and foot

>>14956646
Perhaps you need to return to 10th grade?

>>14956647
And yet it's still not B.

>Cringe and retardpilled
very weak cope, didn't even try to refute my answer. Try harder to get your (You).

>>14956712
I will refute it when you give an actual answer instead of gibberish.

How are we supposed to answer that when none of the points are labelled except the starting point & B?

>>14956728
This board has turned into a nest of brainlets. Your ignorance makes me ill and angry, I will allot you some charity of knowledge.

I put the food away from the box, then move the food as the bug gets closer.

>>14956200
OP YOU MASSIVE RETARD NIGGER
TELL US THE ANSWER

I'm amazed that after this many times that this image was posted there are still people who think it's B lol.

You spent so much effort on this and you STILL think it's B?

There is no point on the top square that is further from point A than point B.
It is abundantly obvious that the furthest point is not on one of the side rectangles.
I remind you that it is axiomatic that the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line so no stopping at a vertex or edge and changing direction is even considered. It is shown that there are 4 equidistant paths that reach point B.

>>14957239
Bold-faced liar.
(it takes 3 minutes to sketch up a net of the rectangular prism and draw a circle emanating from point B)

Can you please stop these shitty puzzles. Finally give up, you will never be able to steal the secret krabby patty formula.

>>14957253
And yet it's still not B.

just admit you fell for a /sci/ meme instead of expecting to be spoonfed an answer

Y'all are suckers, this is how they make commies out y'all. Or good little cappie drones
>>14956205
And this. Anything by Ballard

>>14956761
Disgusting sacks of lard

Protip the fastest route to B is pic related which has the length sqrt(8).
The circle in this retard's >>14957213 has a radius of sqrt(10) which is much larger.

>>14957553
Is there any distance that is larger than sqrt(10) in said triangle? I don't care about being a brainlet anymore, I'm just intrigued
