< I am crawling you ooo ooo ooo >

Consider a box, 46 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 10 inches high.
Place a fly on one of the square ends, 5 inches from
either side and one inch from the bottom.
Similarly, place a spider on the other square ends, 5 inches from
either side and one inch from the top.
The fly (having a death wish) wants to reach the spider as soon as possible.
Find the shortest path (52 inches) between the fly and the spider.
