Sep 27, 2017 at 16:58 comment added David G. Stork Someone claims if $\min_{dim} A < \min_{dim} B$ and $\max_{dim} A < \max_{dim} B$ and $median_{dim} A < median_{dim} B$ then $A$ fits within $B$ (stackoverflow.com/questions/16703854/…) but I'm skeptical and would like to see a proof, especially because the median is not well defined in this case.
