I finally "punted" by hand-entering the
implied URL for problem 24 and using your hint of homothetic
centers, found a similar solution forthwith, but alas, the program
still does not seem to recognize it as a solution.... hmmm? 25
(pentagram inscribed into a circle) was an interesting challenge
and again, my solution was not acknowledged by the system
either... "sigh"!
I am also stuck at 23, but I'm not
sure it is from lack of success...
RVS and RUT "should" match the criteria (using your homothetic
centers "R" hint).

I had at least one other approach which *also* failed to
"pass". I'm a little unclear on how the "snap to grid" and/or
"snap to intersection" works, which *might* be bolloxing things
up?
I'm wondering if *anyone* else took your bait? I ripped
through these "pretty fast" stumbling on 16 I think for a little
extra time.
I have to confess I got stuck at Level 23 because, I'm claiming,
I wasn't familiar with the geometry of homothetic
centers. Is there a complexity site that does the same
sort of thing? It looks like a great way to extend one's
education on an otherwise relatively difficult subject.
