task wording

Did you mean to say   2-dimensional space instead of   n-dimensional space?     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)


3-dimensional space would require a sphere to contain a given set of points.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)


4-dimensional space would require a hypersphere (or glome) to contain a given set of points.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)


Any Dr. Who fans around or anyone who owns a TARDIS?     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 23:03, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

As long as we are using Euclidean space, isn't this just a matter of finding the largest distance between any 2 of the points and dividing by 2? The minumum radius center is the midpoint of the longest connecting line segment?? --Wherrera (talk) 23:38, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
