Let $ABC$ be a triangle with semiperimeter $s$ and inradius $r$. The semicircles with diameters $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ are drawn on the outside of the triangle $ABC$. The circle tangent to all of these three semicircles has radius $t$. Prove that \[\frac{s}{2}<t\le\frac{s}{2}+\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)r. \] [i]Alternative formulation.[/i] In a triangle $ABC$, construct circles with diameters $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$, respectively. Construct a circle $w$ externally tangent to these three circles. Let the radius of this circle $w$ be $t$. Prove: $\frac{s}{2}<t\le\frac{s}{2}+\frac12\left(2-\sqrt3\right)r$, where $r$ is the inradius and $s$ is the semiperimeter of triangle $ABC$. [i]Proposed by Dirk Laurie, South Africa[/i]

A road has constant width. It is made up of finitely many straight segments joined by corners, where the inner corner is a point and the outer side is a circular arc. The direction of the straight sections is always between $NE$ ($45^o$) and $SSE$ ($157 1/2^o$). A person wishes to walk along the side of the road from point $A$ to point $B$ on the same side. He may only cross the street perpendicularly. What is the shortest route? [figure missing]

A sequence of convex polygons $(P_n),n\ge0,$ is defined inductively as follows. $P_0$ is an equilateral triangle with side length $1$. Once $P_n$ has been determined, its sides are trisected; the vertices of $P_{n+1}$ are the interior trisection points of the sides of $P_n$. Express $\lim_{n\to\infty}[P_n]$ in the form $\frac{\sqrt a}b$, where $a,b$ are integers.
