| Aug 28, 2021 at 10:43 | comment | added | Florian F | Thank you. Your solution is now complete and correct. But now I have a problem. in the meantime Bass posted a different solution, which is better explained and illustrated. Even though you gave the essence of the solution first, I will accept his solution because of the better presentation. I hope you are not upset by that choice. | |
