(Berkeley Math Tournament 2016, Geometry Focus #7, modified) A regular unit nn-simplex is a polytope in nn-dimensional space with n+1n+1 vertices that are all exactly a distance of 11 apart. (It is the nn-dimensional analogue to the triangle and the tetrahedron.) In this nn-dimensional space, there exists a point that is equidistant from all n+1n+1 vertices, at a distance d.d. Determine dd in terms of n.n.
