It is well known that every convex disc (compact convex set with interior points) in the plane admits an inscribed affine regular hexagon. The authors present some new applications of this and related results. Example: For every convex disc \(K\) different from a triangle there exists a 6-neighbour lattice covering of the plane by translates of \(K\). Other results concern the existence of triangles inscribed to \(K\) with large edge lengths measured in the Minkowski metric induced by \(K\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0914.00058].
