What a great problem! I was still working through the first few minutes
of "but... how... isn't..." when Jessica said "Okay, how about this?..." and solved it.

posed this at G4GX (and G9?): Dissect a disk into congruent parts
at least one of which avoids the center by a positive distance. Neil
just beat me to a solution. Grr.
