Problem Statement

A circle kk is drawn using a given disc (e.g. a coin). A point AA is chosen on kk. Using just the given disc, determine the point BB on kk so that ABAB is a diameter of kk. (You are allowed to choose an arbitrary point in one of the drawn circles, and using the given disc it is possible to construct either of the two circles that passes through the points at a distance that is smaller than the radius of the circle.)
