Subject: 5 circles covering
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 23:27:03 -0500
From: Julien Faucher

Hi,

I'm looking all over the world trying to find anyone who knows where I could get information on the following problem.

Problem: I am given a big circle (I don't know the size, that's something I have to find out) that I have to completely cover with 5 smaller circles of equal size. Does the problem have a name? Can you help?

Thanks in advance, Julien Faucher
