:content: "The _blancmange curve_ is the set of points (<var>x</var>,<var>y</var>)
such that 0 ≤ <var>x</var> ≤ 1 and ![]({{ images_dir }}/p226_formula.gif) , \nwhere
<var>s</var>(<var>x</var>) = the distance from <var>x</var> to the nearest integer.\n\nThe
area under the blancmange curve is equal to ½, shown in pink in the diagram below.\n\n
![blancmange curve]({{ images_dir }}/p226_scoop2.gif)\n\nLet <var>C</var> be the
circle with centre (¼,½) and radius ¼, shown in black in the diagram.\n\nWhat area
