Mishustin asked the schoolchildren of Tyumen for a task on a fly, a crumb of bread and a glass

April 13, 2023

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin visited the Tyumen School of Physics and Mathematics. The high school students asked the prime minister to give them a problem.

“There is a drink. There is a piece of bread on it. A fly arrives and lands on the other side of the window. What is the shortest distance a fly has to travel to crawl to the crumbs? “Mishustin announced.

The answer was given by student Masha, which took about two minutes: you need to cut the glass, unfold it and draw a straight line from the fly to the crumb. The Prime Minister was pleased with the response and admired the girl’s spirit.

Mishustin also left “homework”: he depicted a figure for schoolchildren to draw on paper, tearing off his arm three times.

“Whoever decides, send him,” he added.

Previously, the State Duma offered to pay schoolchildren money for “five”.

The Mishustin post posed a problem to schoolchildren in Tyumen about a fly, a bread crumb and a drink that first appeared on Current Articles.
