Re: [QUIZ] The Smallest Circle (#157)
Here is my solution. Although it uses a brute force approach if the first attempts (driven by obvious constraints) of determining the circle fail, it scales on larger sets, because the given equal distibution of random points form an approximate square on these sets. In that case the convex hull which is used for the brute force has very few points. I also did some visualization with RMagick. g phil
