BALTIC-WAY 2021 Problem 4

  • Answer

Let Γ\Gamma be a circle in the plane and SS be a point on Γ\Gamma. Mario and Luigi drive around the circle Γ\Gamma with their go-karts. They both start at SS at the same time. They both drive for exactly 6 minutes at constant speed counterclockwise around the track. During these 6 minutes, Luigi makes exactly one lap around Γ\Gamma while Mario, who is three times as fast, makes three laps.

While Mario and Luigi drive their go-karts, Princess Daisy positions herself such that she is always exactly in the middle of the chord between them. When she reaches a point she has already visited, she marks it with a banana.

How many points in the plane, apart from SS, are marked with a banana by the end of the race?
