Chloe Price carelessly tries to rescue a burning slice of bread from a toaster using a metal knife, exposing herself to 220 V. Fortunately, she is wearing shoes which insulates her from the ground so doesn't even feel anything. Find the resistance of her shoes given that the threshold for sensation is 1 mA (milliamp).
