Compute the radius of the largest circle that fits entirely within a unit cube.
Points $A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_{2k}$, in this order, divide a circumference into $2k+1$ equal arcs. Point $A_0$ is connected by chords to all the other points. These $2k$ chords divide the interior of the circle into $2k+1$ parts. These parts are alternately painted red and blue so that there are $k+1$ red and $k$ blue parts. Show that the blue area is larger than the red area.
