Wow! A math meme! Is this the 3d version of the unsolved moving sofa problem?

It’s also mentioned on the wiki page, I’m astonished it could be solved finally, lets wait for the reviews!

Why is it unsolved, it totally looks like you’ve solved it there.

The question is what is the biggest couch. That’s a non optimal solution on the gif, there are bigger couches which can fit

Damn, really? Why would that be so tricky to solve, I wonder.

My grandpa got a pool table in his basement in a very similar stair condition. To this day, I have no idea how beyond the fact that he had a come along tied to a 4x4 across the basement door. We just left it down there when we sold the house.

We have that problem with our late parents house. The grand piano was placed into a second-floor room by removing the window casing and using a crane.

We are hoping that the piano will sell with the house.

First they buy and place the piano, THEN they build the house.

This actually happens. Had a relative that bought one of a row of townhouses being built back in the 60s. The company building the houses thought it would be a sweet incentive to include a piano with each one, so now everyones house in that row has a busted old stand up piano in the basement that’s impossible to remove without some sort of demolition.

Reminds me of my own hilarious large furniture movements. Someone bought a love seat for the home I reside in, didn’t bother measuring anything, and asked me to retrieve it from the store. A very kind gentleman was paid to bring it from the store to the outside of the house. I took one look at the love seat, one look at the door, and asked him to kindly leave because he didn’t want to be any part of the process of getting it inside.

I ultimately took a circular saw to the back of the love seat and later reattached it and stapled the fabric back on.

It had a weird stylistic hump in the center that was the major cause of the problem. I was fully aware upon a handful of measurements that there wasn’t even a chance it was going to fit. My cut was only enough of the back to get it through the door. I realized upon rereading I made it sound like I removed the whole thing.

Even now, 5 years later you can’t tell it was operated on unless you take a good look at the back of it.

I just wonder if you’ll settle into it one day and it’ll just come apart.
