Question 42
Let $\Gamma$ be a circle in the plane and $S$ be a point on $\Gamma$. Two brothers, Mario and Luigi, drive around the circle $\Gamma$ with their go-karts. They both start at $S$ at the same time, they both drive for exactly 6 minutes at constant speed counterclockwise around the track. During these 6 minutes, Luigi makes exactly one lap around $\Gamma$ while Mario, who is three times as fast, accomplishes three laps.
While Mario and Luigi drive their go-karts, Princess Daisy positions herself such that she is always exactly in the middle of the two brothers. When she reaches a point she has already visited, she marks it with a banana.
How many points in the plane, apart from $S$, are marked with a banana after the race?
