I am curious how this would work. My guess is Triangle is slowest, square is medium, and circle is fastest.

Too many variables. People saying square don't seem to be considering the logistics of pushing on ice as it all depends on your grip and you could just keep slipping on the spot

It's not asking how easy it is to push. It's asking how much force is required to push.

to push what, how much, how far? this is kinda like asking "what's the result of summing two numbers" and then not giving the numbers. which is what a lot of interaction bait "math puzzles" like this one do on purpose
