After exertion with ordinary differential equations now relaxation:

Determine the formation law, limit and sum limit for
u_n+3=(13/12)*u_n+2 - (3/8)*u_n+1 + (1/24)*u_n .
Starting values ​​u_1=0, u_2=1, u_3=1.

Since the puzzle task "A circle is to be disturbed ..." makes no fun, here is a Maple task:
The term to be simplified step by step:
(2+10/(3*sqrt(3)))^(1/3)+(2-10/(3*sqrt(3)))^(1/3)

A circle with radius r is given. The circle should be divided into three
parts of equal area such that the circumference of each part is equal to the circumference of the circle.
(Note: There are several solutions.)

In the rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, three straight lines gA, gB, gC are given, which are not all parallel to each other. Another straight line g and the points Oa, Ob, Oc on it are given. A triangle ABC is to be constructed, one of whose vertices lies on gA, gB or gC and the triangle sides a, b and c (or their extensions) each run through Oa, Ob or Oc.
We are looking for the coordinates of the vertices A, B, C.
In a purely constructive solution, the calculation can be omitted.

A classic task from surveying that is unfortunately no longer taught in our GPS age and is worth remembering:

A hiker has lost his way and wants to know where he is. He has a map, a compass, paper, pen and calculator in his bag. From his position he sees three distant objects from left to right: a radio mast F, a chimney S and a church tower K. He also finds these objects on his map. Using his compass he aims at the three objects and measures the angles at which the distances FS and SK appear: angle for FS=alpha, angle for SK=beta. The hiker also manages to get the approximate coordinates of the three objects from the map to scale: F=(xf;yf), S=(xs;ys) and K=(xk;yk).
Question:
What are the hiker's coordinates?
