He said "get across WITH the boards," not
"get across VIA the boards." Your solution might enable the closest board to be retrieved, but the one crossing the corner would probably not be retrieved. :)
Oh-h-h-h, are you solving the "real world" problem, not just a problem which a compulsively literal mind would read into it?
Then I refer you to my previous post.
If one crosses a moat without being invited, in the real world, one might have bigger problems than geometry or compulsive literalism.

The condition of the grass bank probably has a
minimum...ie. the strongest kind of turf will require minimum overlap.

Oh-h-h-h, I must realize these problems are
made to show off our ability with 8th grade geometry. I should have realized that!

Warm again,
Mike
