Re: [math-fun] Fun exam questions
FL makes good inroads into the topic of 'drawing a circle'. I'd assumed the compasses came with a suitably sharp pencil but that was not stated. So ... pencil, [maybe pencil sharpener], paper, table ... and an 'agent' to do the drawing are required too. A nice point that 'Systems Engineers' ought to make. But [clue] what is a circle, and can one draw one? Guy
