The main result states that if an \(n\)-dimensional simplex \(S\subset \mathbb R^n\) contains a unit cube \([0,1]^n\) then, for some \(i=1,\dots, n\), the simplex \(S\) contains a line segment of length \(n\) parallel to the \(x_i\)-axis. Relationships with the linear interpolation of continuous functions of \(n\) variables are discussed [cf. \textit{M. Nevskii}, Model. Analiz Inform. Sistem 16, 24--43 (2009)].
