The problem can be solve by reverse since
the curve will pass through (0.5, 0) which is
a center of one the circles. Then, (0.5, 0)
will satisfy the equation of the locus.

46. To ensure that there will be three balls of the
same color, consider the worst case
situation. The situation is 10 balls are taken
but no three balls of the same color: 2 white,
2 green, 2 black, 2 red, 2 yellow. Then the
11
th
ball will definitely produce 3 balls of the
same color. The answer is 11.
