In the plane a circle $C$ of unit radius is given. For any line $l$, a number $s(l)$ is defined in the following way: If $l$ and $C$ intersect in two points, $s(l)$ is their distance; otherwise, $s(l) = 0$. Let $P$ be a point at distance $r$ from the center of $C$. One defines $M(r)$ to be the maximum value of the sum $s(m) + s(n)$, where $m$ and $n$ are variable mutually orthogonal lines through $P$.
