Me neither.  As long as computers are concerned, shape doesn't
matter for this problem.  It can be ladder-like, spaghetti-like,
bend seven times into a spiral or what not---but you can handle
all these "cases" with one relatively small piece of code.  In
fact, distinguishing these cases will only make things more
complicated.
