Problem B. 4525. (March 2013)

B. 4525. Given n points in the interior of a regular triangle \mathcal{T}, prove that \mathcal{T} can be covered with 2n+1 regular triangles whose sides are parallel to the sides of \mathcal{T} such that they contain none of the n points in their interior. Also prove that the covering is not necessarily possible with 2n triangles.
