Problem Statement

Six unit disks C1C_1, C2C_2, C3C_3, C4C_4, C5C_5, C6C_6 are in the plane such that they don't intersect each other and CiC_i is tangent to Ci+1C_{i+1} for 1i61 \le i \le 6 (where C7=C1C_7 = C_1). Let CC be the smallest circle that contains all six disks. Let rr be the smallest possible radius of CC, and RR the largest possible radius. Find RrR - r.
