1. What mean "bouncing" point?
2. A typo here? $S(\sqrt{\frac 1 2}, 0.06, 0.7)=0.7071 \dots$

Re: Problem 576
Hi meduza2
2. The gap reaches from $0.7$ to $0.7+0.06=0.76$. Therefore the point that would touch the circumference at $0.7071 \dots$ falls into the gap after its first step having reached a total way length of $0.7071 \dots$.
1. Bouncing means here that the point doesn't touch the circumference before completing its step or bounce, as illustrated by ...meduza2 wrote:1. What mean "bouncing" point?
