Steem Riddle of the Week #12: No Straight Edge

Steem Riddle of the Week #12: No Straight Edge

Last weeks riddle went unsolved despite some good attempts! The solution is posted here: https://steemit.com/riddle/@droopy/steem-riddle-of-the-week-11-two-decks-solution-revealed-prize-awared

This week, once again, I'm asking that everyone who posts a solution, obfuscate it , but this time with a new tool that also obfuscates both letters and numbers. Go here: https://cryptii.com/rot13 and select rot18. That way others can more easily take part without worrying about spoilers. Only obfuscated posts can win the prize!

This weeks riddle

In basic geometry we all learn how to bisect a line segment using a compass and a straight edge. This weeks riddle is as follows: how can you bisect a line segment with no straight edge (only a compass). Note that without a straight edge you cannot draw a straight line between two points.

Your solution must involve a finite number of steps. The correct solution does not involve estimating, approximating, or repeatedly drawing circles until they line up perfectly.

Prize

To post a solution, go here: https://cryptii.com/rot13 and select rot18 and post your obfuscated solution as a comment on this post. If your comment isn't obfuscated, you aren't eligible for the prize.

The first person to upvote and comment with a valid obfuscated!!!! solution (as decided by me and only me) prior to this post paying out will win 1SBD! The prize will be paid out right after the rewards from the post are paid.
