16.Given a triangle ABC, how would you use only
a compass and straight edge to find a point P
such that triangles ABP, ACP and BCP have
equal perimeters? (Assume that ABC is
constructed so that a solution does exist.)
17.Consider a function which, for a given whole
number n, returns the number of ones required
when writing out all numbers between 0 and n.

many as choosing N minus K from N: I pick K,
you the remaining.

a knack uncanny, of making your choices contain
all K of mine. Oh, for pedantry: let K be no more
