If three distinct points P,Q,R are given in the plane, there are eight different triangles ABC with the property that the triangles BCP, CAQ, ABR are all equilateral (for a short proof see \textit{H. G. Steiner}, Math.-Phys. Semesterber. 5, 132-137 (1956; Zbl 0074.362)). The author investigates in detail the possibilities for the respective geometric positions of these triangles.
