A triangle $ABC$ with area $1$ is given. Anja and Bernd are playing the following game: Anja chooses a point $X$ on side $BC$. Then Bernd chooses a point $Y$ on side $CA$ und at last Anja chooses a point $Z$ on side $AB$. Also, $X,Y$ and $Z$ cannot be a vertex of triangle $ABC$. Anja wants to maximize the area of triangle $XYZ$ and Bernd wants to minimize that area.
