ok /sci/ heres one I'd like to see you solve. I know for a fact I need to level my calculus more for this one, but right now I'm busy C grinding.
a hollow cone [dunces hat]:
/\
/ \ \slant height = 30cm
/ \
/ \
(________* <- A fly on the very rim
|____| <- radius = 10cm
Diametrically opposite the fly (opposite rim) is a patch of honey, the fly can only walk along the wall of the cone, what is the shortest possible route it can take to get to the honey?
