### Relation of MSTs in the Euclidean plane to Delaunay triangulations

It cannot be for any planar triangulation. Say we have a triangle with vertices $x, y, z$ and $xy$ is the longest edge. Consider a run of Prim’s MST algorithm which at each step adds an edge to a ...

### Which pyramids fill space?

About the tetrahedra problem, I have found this reference/proof that they cannot be used to fill 3D space (since the proven upper bound is smaller than $100 \cdot (1-2.7 \cdot 10^{-25})\%$: https://en....

### Distance of average of points to center of minimum enclosing ball

Assume $d=2\cdot k$. If $d$ is large, then the vertices of the cube such that $\|v\|=k$ lie very densely in $(d-1)$-dimensional sphere. If $n$ is large, but not that large, then you may choose $n-1$ ...
