Triangle
Description
Given n distinct points on a plane, your task is to find the triangle that have the maximum area, whose vertices are from the given points.
Input
The input consists of several test cases. The first line of each test case contains an integer n, indicating the number of points on the plane. Each of the following n lines contains two integer xi and yi, indicating the ith points. The last line of the input is an integer −1, indicating the end of input, which should not be processed. You may assume that 1 <= n <= 50000 and −104 <= xi, yi <= 104for all i = 1 . . . n.
Output
For each test case, print a line containing the maximum area, which contains two digits after the decimal point. You may assume that there is always an answer which is greater than zero.
Sample Input
3 3 4 2 6 2 7 5 2 6 3 9 2 0 8 0 6 5 -1
Sample Output
0.50 27.00

凸包三角：求N个点组成的三角形的最大面积？
思路：
不难想到最大三角形一定由凸包的顶点构成，难点在于怎么搜索。O(N^3)枚举会超时，旋转卡壳法O(N^2)解决问题。
点的移动：先固定一条边（红色实线），然后依次搜索第3个顶点1st，三角形面积必然是先增后减的，一旦发现开始减小了，立即终止搜索，转而移动固定边。
边的移动：固定边的移动也有讲究，固定边两点的跨度用add表示的话，add不一定是1，最大可达到(N + 1)/2，于是将此add也枚举一遍即可。
