ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the new version of the presentation “Ant and honey on regular prisms and a cylinder”, the shortest paths between two points on the surfaces of regular prisms are explored.
\nThe author demonstrates that triangular and quadrilateral prisms can have four different shortest paths, rather than just three.
\nThe paper includes graphical representations of the shortest paths on triangular prism, quadrilateral prism, pentagonal prism and hexagonal prism.
