favorite part of the video so far is panning up to the robot figures sitting on the top shelf

OK... I'm seven years late, but the bit with the equilateral triangle and the distance to the barycentre (/centroid) confused me for a bit. It's actually two-thirds the *height* of the triangle; not two-thirds the side length. Since the height is slightly less than the side length x (it's sqrt(3)/2 * x), it's not showing that the inequality is sharp as mentioned in the video — to do that you'd have to show that there's a point two-thirds of the *side length* away from the nearest vertex, which is a slightly larger quantity the two-thirds the height and presumably isn't achieved since the vertices seem to achieve the supremum already.
