Quote examples

Then the sum of distances to the vertices of a simplex is minimized (1) by a point inside it from which the solid angles subtended by the faces of the simplex are equal, or (2) at one vertex of the simplex; case 2 holds if the angle subtended at some vertex is >= 1/(n+1) of the "total solid angle" in that many dimensions, otherwise case 1 does.
