THE WIZARD'S CATS.

(Various Dissection Puzzles)
A wizard placed ten cats inside a magic circle as shown in our
illustration, and hypnotized them so that they should remain stationary
during his pleasure. He then proposed to draw three circles inside the
large one, so that no cat could approach another cat without crossing a
magic circle. Try to draw the three circles so that every cat has its
own enclosure and cannot reach another cat without crossing a line.


Answer:

The illustration requires no explanation. It shows clearly how the three
circles may be drawn so that every cat has a separate enclosure, and
cannot approach another cat without crossing a line.
