Mrs. Miniver's problem is a
geometry problem about
circles. Given a circle A, find a circle B such that the area of the intersection of A and B is equal to the area of A-B and the area of B-A. It is called
Mrs. Miniver's problem because it illustrates a husband and wife who have as much in common as each has not in common with the other.
