    By way of specifying the logical task unambiguously, solutions involving either reaching an island or mainland bank other than via one of the bridges, or; accessing any bridge without crossing to its other end; are explicitly unacceptable. Euler proved that the problem has no solution.

  9. Crossed ladders problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    The value D is found in the solution as the real part of the difference in the squares of the complex coordinates of the two walls. The imaginary part = 2X a Y a = 2X b Y b (walls a and b). The short ladder in the complex solution in the 3, 2, 1 case appears to be tilted at 45 degrees, but actually slightly less with a tangent of 0.993.
