3. A rectangular room has dimensions 12x12x24. That is, the floorand ceiling and both the side walls are 12x24 and the two end walls are12x12. In the room there are two ants, a male and a female. The maleant is on the floor at one of the corners.Now the female has positioned herself to be as far as possible from themale. That is, she has located herself at a point so that the male willtake the longest possible time to get to her, given that he has to craw!along the walls, floor or ceiling of the room and will (of course) choosehis path so that he gets to the female in the shortest possible time.• FThe question is: where is the female?Well there's an obvious answer-the diametrically opposite corner.That's certainly the point which is farthest from the ant "as the crowflies." But an ant is not a crow.
