While this is always true, it is possible to get a longer object in if you turn as you go. It's an easy problem if the object has no thickness, but trickier otherwise.
- gambling8nt 17y agoTo solve the problem for an object with thickness, imagine shifting the wall on the inside of the turn in by a distance equal to the width of a box (with the corner expanding out to a semicircle), and then consider moving a line segment through the appropriately shrunken hallway. Note that we're still being possibly inefficient, as we are not using our third available dimension; however, this is only relevant if the box is much longer in one direction than the other two (for example, if you were trying to carry a 2x4 around this corner).
