    The base of a regular four-sided pyramid ABCDEABCDE is the square ABCDABCD, and each edge of the pyramid is 3232 units long. A snail starts at vertex EE and crawls to vertex AA as follows: first moves along edge EAEA to the point PP for which EP=2EP=2. Then continues to cross the face ABEABE and arrives at point QQ of edge EBEB, where EQ=4EQ=4. Then crosses the face BCEBCE to reach that point RR of edge ECEC for which ER=8ER=8, and continues along face CDECDE to point SS on edge EDED, with ES=16ES=16. Finally, it crawls on the surface of face DAEDAE, from SS to point AA. What is the minimum distance covered by the snail altogether?
