My most recent video was wrong! I claimed that the circumcircle was always the smallest circle containing a triangle. This is not always true and is not the definition of the circumcircle. The circumcircle is the circle that passes through all the vertices of the triangle.
What is still true is that there are 10000 triangles with circumradius ≤ 26, but there are more triangles that can fit in that circle!
Normally I post a list of corrections in the description of my video, but I think this error is bad enough that I needed to unlist the video.
Thank you to the commenter who pointed out my error, I've pinned their comment.

I unlisted the video so I wouldn't mislead anybody else, but if you want to see it anyway, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO0-A...
