Are All 10 Ohm Resistors in Parallel?

[A13235378]

Homework Statement

My doubt is: Due to the AA flat wire, the resistances in blue would be shorted. Yes or not? Why?
I don't know if that's the case, but from what I've learned, the current prefers to pass through regions of minimal resistance. However, due to the other flat wire, BB, it appears that all 10 ohm resistors are in parallel. Am I right or am I wrong? If wrong, what would be the current path? Disregard the purple markings

Relevant Equations

U = RI

Is the BB short there too?
