Description
Given a set $S$ of $n$ horizontal line segments in the plane and two particular horizontal segments $s_1$ and $s_2$, determine whether there are points on $s_1$ and $s_2$ that can see each other, that is, such that the open segment between the points does not intersect any segment in $S$.
