Why is Oxford using imperial units?

Doesn’t that mean it’s ‘crawling’ in the air?

0ft. It just makes a web and let it fly to it.

I really liked this. it's actually counterintuitive or at least not immediately obvious. thank you for making this video.

But you haven’t proved this must be the best? How does that follow?

This example is one of Georgy Polya's star examples in his classic text 'How to Solve It'.

What are the length of the spiders legs: as corners can be cut away. Can the Spider spit a Web first, as to pull back, affix, then crawl along? What is the size and shape of the fly: as Fruit verses Dragonfly have inches in difference, such that: what is the size and type of spider: can it Jump, is it orbee, or is it a hunter as the size and body shapes change? If Riddles are stupid questions in poetic form, then Puzzles are a demand for idiotic work of information. Yes, I still do them when asked, and I knew the solution through the idiom... Don't Judge me!

Doesn't it mean there are multiple ways you can open this room into 2D and check all possibities to find the shortest?

This is why I always use the “two dimensional only” route setting on google maps. Don’t have time to waste!

I think the solution to this puzzle is wrong you can't open up the room when you open up the room then the there's a horizontal displacement and then you can get the Pythagorean efficiency but this is not a openable room you can't just open up the box just like that that's not part of the room if not what put it in the box you can say that it is a three-dimensional surface.
