Oct 21, 2017 at 23:39 comment added David Richerby @Seyed I disagree that the question is clear on this point. You ask for the minimum distance crawled; that in no way implies that other methods of moving are forbidden. Indeed, it suggests that other methods are encouraged, since they help reduce crawling. If I wanted to get downtown with as little walking as possible, you'd recommend I drive or take a bus, not advise me on the shortest all-walking route.

Oct 21, 2017 at 12:05 comment added Seyed It has been clearly mentioned in the question that you should find the distance that the ant "crawl". By the way, ant will never drop willingly, they my fall but not drop intentionally.
Oct 21, 2017 at 11:45 comment added paparazzo @Seyed Maybe you could have been explicit in the question.
Oct 21, 2017 at 11:37 comment added Seyed No, the ant can't drop, he crawls. This was suggested before. Thanks for your solution. :-)
