OpenStudy (amriju):

I reasoned that since the spiders were just fussy about the distance in the web...and not the actual distance...i imagined the total web to be made of a single thread...( u can consider that way provided u draw a few more thread lines to join certain points)...now if we straighten the thread...we would require the spiders to be 1.1 cm away..the total length of the thread being 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The biggest side will have atleast(approx.) 2 spiders...Otherwise I don't see any box where 2 spiders can reside..According to The PHP.. So I guess 5 or 6 ..But I prefer to go on with 6..what's the correct answer?

OpenStudy (imer):

I don't have the correct answer,
