A positive integer $m(\ge 2$) is given. From circle $C_1$ with a radius 1, construct $C_2, C_3, C_4, ... $ through following acts: In the $i$th act, select a circle $P_i$ inside $C_i$ with a area $\frac{1}{m}$ of $C_i$. If such circle dosen't exist, the act ends. If not, let $C_{i+1}$ a difference of sets $C_i -P_i$. Prove that this act ends within a finite number of times.
