We have a winner!
Oh yes, those square holes. I had seen a little sketch of that thing, never saw it in action. Cool!

Thank you Sr! :) I love geometry. I made pen-and-paper game based on geometry, would share it with you if you are interested.

Sure thing. Feel free to share it here in ~science if that would make sense...

Ok! Will upload it there a later! :)

I love the Reuleaux triangle so much. It's used in industry to drill squared holes! How crazy is that!!
Solution:
So, each segment s of the ABC inscribed triangle is 6cm because of how the Reuleaux triangle is composed. That allows us to get the center position p from any vertex, for it's equal to 2/3 of the triangle's height h, thus:
s=6cm
h=sen(60°)⋅s=23⋅s
p=32h=33⋅s
So, the radius r of the inscribed circle is:
r=s−p=s−33⋅s=s⋅(1−33)
So in numbers:
r=2⋅(3−3)cm=2.536cm
