There’s a maximum likelihood that I’m doing phylogenetics wrong.

    All points on a triangle lie somewhere between their incircle and their circumcircle, so it checks out.

    Wow! I was so sure that circles and pentagons were closely related. Who would have known.

      I’m pretty sure pentagons are a subspecies of bestagons…

        all are just subspecies of the bestagons:

        • circles are just curvy hexagons
        • polygons are just flawed hexagons
        • triangles are just partial hexagons

    The classic square peg in a round hole problem.

      You can just drop them all in the square hole. Triangles, semicircles, arches, doesn’t matter. All of them go into the square hole.

    I’m more surprised that trapeziums aren’t related to triangles.
