摘要
A necessary condition is given for a region of the plane to have the greatest possible area of any region able to move around a right-angled corner in a hallway of unit width. A region is constructed, with area 2.2195...and bounded by 18 analytic pieces. which satisfies this condition. It is conjectured that this is the unique region of maximum area.
