problem

For any set SS of five points in the plane, no three of which are collinear, let M(S)M(S) and m(S)m(S) denote the greatest and smallest areas, respectively, of triangles determined by three points from SS. What is the minimum possible value of M(S)/m(S)M(S)/m(S) ?

Original LaTeX notation
For any set $S$ of five points in the plane, no three of which are collinear, let $M(S)$ and $m(S)$ denote the greatest and smallest areas, respectively, of triangles determined by three points from $S$.  What is the minimum possible value of $M(S)/m(S)$ ?
