Draw a quarter circle and label the center point C and the points on either end of its arc, A and B.

Let the length of the quarter circle's radius = 1 unit 

Now draw the circle with diameter AB, and label another point on this circle D such that point D is not inside the original quarter circle CAB.

Find the area of circle ABD outside of quarter circle CAB. Place answer inside hide tags and justify your result.

Wait, does your approach rely on string theory?

Still looking for the chestnut.

Is that a nipple reference?  Glad to know you're an officianado (sp?) too.  My wife isn't into boobs but she knows my tastes in girl butt and will point them out for me.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
