Problem

A circle of radius $r$ is concentric with and outside a regular hexagon of side length $2$ . The probability that three entire sides of hexagon are visible from a randomly chosen point on the circle is $1/2$ . What is $r$ ?

$\mathrm{(A) \ } 2\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{3}\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 3\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}$ $\rm{(C) \ } 2\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{3}\qquad \rm{(D) \ } 3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}$

$\mathrm{(E) \ } 6\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}$
