Abstract:A powerful tool for studying the growth of analytic and harmonic functions is Hall's Lemma, which states that there is a constantC>0 so that the harmonic measure of a subsetE of the closed unit disk 
$$\bar {\mathbb{D}}$$
evaluated at 0 satisfies 
$$\omega \left( {0,E,\mathbb{D}\backslash E} \right) \geqslant C_\omega  \left( {0,E_{rad} ,\mathbb{D}} \right)$$
whereE rad is the radial projection ofE onto 
$$\partial \mathbb{D}$$
. FitzGerald, Rodin and Warschawski proved that ifE is a continuum in 
$$\bar {\mathbb{D}}$$
whose radial projection has length at most π then (*) is true withC=1, and they asked how large the length, |E rad|, can be in order for their result to be valid. We prove that (*) holds withC=1 for every continuum 
$$E \subset \bar {\mathbb{D}}$$
satisfying 
$$\left| {E_{rad} } \right| \leqslant \theta _c  \simeq 2\pi \left( {\frac{{350}}{{360}}} \right)$$
and θc cannot be replaced by a larger number. Fuchs asked for the largest constantC so that (*) holds for allE. We show that for every continuum 
$$E \subset \bar {\mathbb{D}}$$
, (*) holds withC=C ≅.977126698498665669…, whereC is the harmonic measure of the two long sides of a 3∶1 rectangle evaluated at the center. There are Jordan curves for which equality holds in (*) withC=C . The authors are supported in part by NSF grants DMS-9302823 and DMS-9401027, and while at MSRI by NSF grant DMS-9022140.
