Nadia bought a compass and after opening its package realized that the length of the needle leg is $10$ centimeters whereas the length of the pencil leg is $16$ centimeters! Assume that in order to draw a circle with this compass, the angle between the pencil leg and the paper must be at least $30$ degrees but the needle leg could be positioned at any angle with respect to the paper. Let $n$ be the difference between the radii of the largest and the smallest circles that Nadia can draw with this compass in centimeters. Which of the following options is closest to $n$?

The "> 96" in [b](b)[/b] can be strengthened to "> 124". By the way, part [b](a)[/b] of this problem is the place where I used [url=http://mathlinks.ro/viewtopic.php?t=5537]the well-known "Dedekind" theorem[/url].
