Question 3

Having lost a game of checkers and my temper, I dash all the pieces to the ground but one. This last checker, which is perfectly circular in shape, remains completely on the board, and happens to cover equal areas of red and black squares. Prove that the center of this piece must lie on a boundary between two squares (or at a junction of four).
