TLC, the ladder problem is complex. It just LOOKS easy.

I know only one person who has solved it, a friend's high school math teacher. Unfortunately, I remember his approach, but not the whole solution. He expressed the end points as X,Y coordinates and did the math as differences between Y' and Y, X' and X, etc..

He reduced it to formula but didn't have time to solve.
