A Shoe-ful Family
Ready, set, take off your shoes!
Imagine you had 1,000 feet — and therefore 1,000 shoes. That’s the case for a very special family: the centipede family. How long will it take to unlace all the shoes?
You will have to work with big numbers to solve this puzzle. But at least, there aren’t 1,000 obstacles!
