Math Puzzle - Running on sand

The video tutorial explores a problem of determining the fastest path to run from point A to point B on a beach, considering speed increases closer to the water. Two paths are analyzed: one with a constant speed and another along a slope. Calculations involve integration and the use of Pythagoras' theorem. The tutorial concludes that path two is faster and suggests using an Excel spreadsheet for further exploration.
