I've been quite under desperate lately. I got no clue on how to solve this (apparently easy) geometry problem:
Consider a circle C of center O in a plane and a line segment AB not necessarily outside the circle C.
Having no compass, just a pen and a simple ruler, construct 2 points M and N inside the segment AB so that
$$ \frac{AM}{2,333...} = \frac{MN}{1,666...} = \frac{NB}{2} $$
Any ideas?
