Abstract: The convex hull of the subgraph of the prime counting function $xightarrowpi(x)$ is a convex set, bounded from above by a graph of some piecewise affine function $xightarrowepsilon(x)$. The vertices of this function form an infinite sequence of points $(e_k,pi(e_k){)}_1^{infty}$. In this paper we present some trivial observation about the sequence $(e_k{)}_1^{infty}$ and we formulate a number of questions resulting from the numerical data. Besides we prove one less trivial result: if the Riemann hypothesis is true, then $limfrac{e}_{k+1}{e}_k=1$.
