When exactly did we reduce the problem to regular polygons?

Please compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem for the general case.

    We didn't. But you started the discussion about whether or not circles would be better for regular polygons (octagons was the example you chose). The rest of my posts in this sub-thread have followed from that. HTH.
