I've implemented the Welzl's algorithm, but, please, be warned as I've learned later that sometimes the algorithm fails. Years later, Matoušek, Sharir, and Welzl seems to have fixed the problem, creating a new version of the algorithm (adding one additional test).

I think the tolerance in Test 3 is a bit too tight. My solution fails in about 28% of the cases because the numerical error max(D)-r is up to 8*eps.
