All you brainiacs take it easy and let's see how others do it! Tongue

THE PROBLEM:

Find the total area of the red spots.

That's a normal rectangle, with two equal circles inside.
Looks odd, at first, but it's remarkably simple.

Just saw this, and haven't checked any solution yet. But without giving it a better thought for now, I'll go with area of triangle - area of full circle:

0.5*10*20 - 25*PI
