“…In the dry case [16], the three-fold vertices where films meet were moved so as to keep 120 • angles in the bulk, sometimes known as the Fermat-Steiner point [29,30], and to meet the wall at 90 • . Here, in the wet case, we must instead consider a vertex at which three interfaces of different tension meet, defining the apices of the Plateau borders.…”

“…Elegant solutions of this problem were accredited to authors in [1,2]. This ancient intriguing problem has been extended in different ways [3,4,5,6,7]. In this note, we give a proof for one of the most natural generalised cases.…”

“…For the first time, D. O. Shklyarskii, N. N. Chentsov and I.M.Yaglom [7] gave a solution of the problem in 1970; and then in 1995 Tong and Chua [6] gave a different solution. However, the solutions in [6] and [7] were not complete in the sense that they did not cover all the cases, and in many of the cases considered, they failed to locate the point P. Not until 2002 was a complete solution of the problem obtained [5]. Nevertheless, this solution, primarily using the scalar product of two vectors, is not elementary enough.…”
