When its prey gets stuck at A, the spider starts from the center and take thread 2 or 5 to get it. To get to the prey at B, the spider uses thread 1 or 2, starting from the center.

The spider has a simple rule. Following this rule and starting from the center, which two threads could the spider take to get to C?

Try thinking about the prey instead of starting thread. The spider can get to C from either the left or right depending on which thread it starts from. Try tracing both routes backward to the start.
