Abstract

In this detailed study of 3-segment non-convex simple arcs inscribed in the 30 sector, we show that each such arc of length one fits in the interior of the sector of radius one with the prescribed embedding. We discuss implications of this study for covering problems involving triangular covers and for the worm problem of Leo Moser.
