Consider \mathbb R^n equipped with a norm. Given a finite set of points K and a point x, we consider T(x,K), the sum of distances from x to the points in K. Next we consider the set of points M(K) that attain the minimum of T(x,K). We say that the norm is nice if M(K) has non empty intersection with the convex hull of K.

Test your intuition (57): Are there norms which are not nice?

(Added later:) Test your intuition (57)b: Which norms are nice and which norms are not nice?

Here is an illustrative representation of “nice norms,” combining societal harmony with mathematical hints (ChatGPT).
