Problem Statement

Let r>0r > 0 be a real number. All the interior points of the disc D(r)D(r) of radius rr are colored with one of two colors, red or blue.
[*]If r>π3r > \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}, show that we can find two points AA and BB in the interior of the disc such that AB=πAB = \pi and A,BA,B have the same color [*]Does the conclusion in (a) hold if r>π2r > \frac{\pi}{2}? Proposed by S Muralidharan
