Dear InterViewers,

This is not a question about interviews, but those of you 
involved in computer graphics might be able to help me
with the following polygon alignment problem:

Given two points in a plane, align a convex polygon without
rotating it (that is only by translating it) so that the two 
points lie on the polygon facets.
It can be safely assumed that the given points are not too far 
away.

Is anyone aware of the solution and would be so kind to share it
with me?

Regards, Zdravko Balorda.
