GIVE IT A SHOT!!! FOUR BUGS ARE PLACED AT FOUR CORNERS OF A SQUARE. THE BUGS CRAWL COUNTERCLOCKWISE AT THE SAME SPEED, AND EACH BUG CRAWLS DIRECTLY TOWARD THE NEXT BUG AT ALL TIMES. THEY APPROACH THE CENTER OF THE SQUARE ALONG SPIRAL PATHS. FIND THE POLAR EQUATION OF A BUG'S PATH. IF THE ORGIN IS AT THE CENTER OF THE SQUARE. (USE THE FACT THAT THE LINE JOINING ONE BUG TO THE NEXT IS TANGENT TO THE BUG'S PATH). ------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know even how to get started on this problem but perhaps some help would not hurt. DARYL.
