1/22    Hello, here is an interesting problem [harder than the canoe-bowling
        ball one]: Given a circle with radius=1, can you draw a parabola s.t.
        the part inside the circle has length greater than 4? ok tnx. --psb
        \_ In how many dimensions?  Do I get to warp space?  -Q
           \- in flat plane, obviously. --psb

           \- yeah, that's pretty good. how did you compute it? I think the
           problem has a different feel if you ask "yes or no" and you dont
           get a computer and have to do it "on the back of an envelope" vs
           "find the max length parabola" but you get a computer. --psb
           \_ Warping space was easier.  You humans and your 2D math.... -Q
