I would expect that "inscribed in the squares" does not apply to this:
That is a very small circle.

What does it mean to be "inscribed in the squares"?
Does it mean the circle is inscribed in each square,
like the circle below?

Does it mean that it is tangent to one side of each circle,
and is contained in the union of all 3 circles, as the circle below?
This one is a bit larger.
The circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle,
and each square has a side on a side of that triangle.

Does it mean that it is contained inside the union of all three squares,
as the circle below?

This last one is tangent to one side of the top square,
and tangent to two sides of each of the bottom squares.
It is as large as I figure I could fit completely inside the union of the squares.

In my view (in my understanding) the post DOES NOT contain the correct and unambiguous mathematical problem.

Moreover (which is even worst), it is not seen what the author wanted to say and how to produce the correct formulation.

Therefore, the post doesn't deserve serious consideration.
