Question 172

An apple is in the shape of a ball of radius $31~\mathrm{mm}$. A worm gets into the apple and digs a tunnel of total length $61~\mathrm{mm}$, and then leaves the apple. (The tunnel need not be a straight line.) Prove that one can cut the apple with a straight slice through the center so that one of the two halves is not rotten.
