Problem Solving 101

Tonight, we were playing ball with Lucas. At one point, the big red ball had gone over by the windows (behind one of the taupe chairs). Lucas walked over and picked it up. However, when he tried to turn to his right to walk back to the middle of the living room, he encountered resistance. He was too close to the chair to pivot, because each time he tried, the ball hit the corner of the chair. After a couple attempts to pivot to his right, he aborted the mission.

The next thing we knew, Lucas was walking behind the chair. He decided the alternate path was the path of least resistance, at least in this case. Yes, the 101 was for 1 year, 1 day.
