Four bugs on the corners of a square start walking towards their respective neighbours. How far does each one travel? It's an example of a simple set-up that leads to a relatively complex problem. Though mathematical rigor is perhaps less important here than intuition, as the answer reveals. A general solution for any regular polygon (triangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc.) is somewhat more math heavy.
