There is a perfect sphere of diameter 100 cms. resting up against a perfectly straight wall and a perfectly straight floor.
What is the diameter of the largest sphere that can pass through the gap between the wall, floor and the sphere ?

We know that the two ealls are perfectly straight, but said nothing if they are perfectly perpendicular. You can have the two lines meeting at an angel greater or less than 90 degrees and then the answer would change with each degree changed.
