* Tangents (both here and in Problem 2 below) count once only at each point of contact.

† Clearly a trivial solution is given by a straight line, parts of which are taken twice, thrice, … Our solution is related to this.

* We write exp2(n) for 2n for convenience.

† The A's are absolute constants different in each context.
