Let ABCDABCD be a unit square. For any interior points M,NM,N such that the line MNMN does not contain a vertex of the square, we denote by s(M,N)s(M,N) the least area of the triangles having their vertices in the set of points {A,B,C,D,M,N}\{ A,B,C,D,M,N\}. Find the least number kk such that s(M,N)ks(M,N)\le k, for all points M,NM,N.
