Kakeya Needle Problem

What is the plane figure of least Area in which a line segment of width 1 can be freely rotated (where translation ofthe segment is also allowed)? Besicovitch (1928) proved that there is no Minimum Area. This can be seenby rotating a line segment inside a Deltoid, star-shaped 5-oid, star-shaped 7-oid, etc. When the figure is restrictedto be convex, Cunningham and Schoenberg (1965) found there is still no minimum Area. However, the smallest simple convex domain in which one can put a segment of length 1 which will coincide with itself when rotated by 180°is

(Le Lionnais 1983).
