Hi all,
	Thought you might all enjoy a little Friday trivia. Co-workers of
mine
passed this one around today...

If you drew three of the same size circles snugly within the boundaries of a
larger circle of radius 1 unit as shown below, what is the radius of the
smaller circles?

Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.
