From Mike Kenedy: I am having trouble with a homework question for bonus marks. A Circle is continually divided by lines that do not intersect the center so that they produce the most pieces of circle. For example
1 line divides the circle into 2.
2 into 4.
3, however into 7.
4 into11
5 into 16
6 into 22
7 into 29
8 into 37
etc...
