Video Summary

Three villages are connected by paths labeled X, Y, and Z. Each direct path has an equivalent detour path with known distance differences. The problem requires finding the shortest direct path. By setting up equations based on the detour information and solving them, the respective direct path lengths are determined as X = 6 km, Y = 3 km, and Z = 4 km. The shortest path is Y, measuring 3 kilometers. Thus, the shortest direct wiggly path between the villages is 3 kilometers.
