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.

Show that the blue area is larger than the red area.

Let $\Gamma = \{\varepsilon,0,00,\ldots\}$ be the set of all finite strings consisting of only zeroes. We consider $\textit{six-state unary DFAs}$ $D = (F,q_0,\delta)$ where $F$ is a subset of $Q = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$, not necessarily strict and possibly empty; $q_0\in Q$ is some $\textit{start state}$; and $\delta: Q\rightarrow Q$ is the $\textit{transition function}$. For each such DFA $D$, we associate a set $F_D\subseteq\Gamma$ as the set of all strings $w\in\Gamma$ such that \[\underbrace{\delta(\cdots(\delta(q_0))\cdots)}_{|w|\text{ applications}}\in F,\] We say a set $\mathcal D$ of DFAs is $\textit{diverse}$ if for all $D_1,D_2\in\mathcal D$ we have $F_{D_1}\neq F_{D_2}$. What is the maximum size of a diverse set?
