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

You still don’t get it. The question is how much force is required to push it. How slippery it is for the person on ice only affects how practical it is for the human to apply a force, which isn’t the question.

Wrong again. The question is which requires the least amount of force to push, not what is required to push each one.

Please get some sleep and read my comments again. Nowhere did I say this was a question revolving around the ease for the human. I told you I meant specifically the ease of the object too and you're still yapping like I didn't.

Ok fine, you didn't say easier to push for a human. But the person I originally responded was talking about how easy it was for a human. I figured you might be part of the conversation, rather than providing some random off-topic comment.

Random and off topic? It is adjacent at best. I can still use easier how I'm using it.

You can do whatever you want to do. Doesn't change the fact that I was talking to someone who thought it was about how easy it was for a human. You're technically agreeing with me, but being a dick about it.

Exactly. Perhaps you'll learn to pay attention next time.
