equilateral triangle inside a triangle
On 2012-04-05 at 13:38 in the "Help me" section the following was proposed
"Given an arbitrary triangle find the equilateral triangle circumscribed around the original one such that the area of that equilateral triangle is maximized"
I am proposing the dual problem, by replacing "circumscribed around" by "inscribed inside" and " maximized" by "minimized"

Is that the one I posted? I think so.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Hi anonimnystefy
that is right, your problem inspired this one, their solutions are quite similar.

Ok. I will try this one.
