An acute triangle has unit area. Show that there is a point inside the triangle whose distance from each of the vertices is at least $\frac{2}{\sqrt[4]{27}}$.

Each face of a regular tetrahedron with edge length $2011$ is divided into $2011^2$ equilateral triangles of side length $1$, created by drawing lines parallel to each edge. Bruno and Mariano take turns marking one of the unit triangles. Except for the first move, every triangle marked must share at least one point with the triangle marked in the previous move. Bruno plays first. The game ends when a player cannot make a move, and that player loses. Determine which of the two players has a winning strategy and describe the strategy.
