Rabbit traces a path that keeps agent at a tangent until center of lake reaches hypotenuse of right triangle created by tangent. Rabbit then follows trajectory to shore.
thanks for your support! I agree with you --- after posting I started to think that maybe it could be constructed geometrically, but unfortunately I'm not very skilled at geometric constructions. I'd like to take you up on your offer of a picture for a poem, but right now I can't provide my part of the deal.
How much more I think about this will depend on how much more time I feel like diverting from my day. If I come up with anything I'll be sure to post.
