Suppose you place a bunch of random points in a region and then repeatedly remove the points on the boundary of the convex hull. Over time, the boundary of the region will shrink to a point. But where will that point be?pic.twitter.com/2rgMP6HPWv

I wrote a little game in an
@observablehq notebook where you can guess where the "convex hull peeling" process ends!https://observablehq.com/@bryangingechen/convex-hull-peeling-guessing-game …1 reply 2 retweets 6 likesShow this thread
The above notebook (and the other members of its family https://observablehq.com/@bryangingechen/convex-hull-peeling … & https://observablehq.com/@bryangingechen/convex-hull-peeling-ii …) were inspired by the paper "The Limit Shape of Convex Hull Peeling" by Jeff Calder and Charles K Smart: https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.08278 pic.twitter.com/Ml4BwhdhzE
