What about combining 1) and 3) - lay down a chit that indicates the
center of his viewing arc.  i.e. measure out 12" and place a chit.  Then
X" (depending on the size of the arc) to either side would be the bounds
of the arc.  That way you only need 1 chit per fig, still cover a good
size area, and don't have to worry about having figs with arcs on them.
