+// A minefield is made up of mines placed on a continuous 2D plane. A mine is
+// represented as a tuple with the values (x, y, blast_radius). When a mine blows up,
+// all other mines whose coordinates are within the blast radius also blow up. When
+// those mines blow up, any mines within their blast radius also blow up, and so on
+// and so on, triggering a chain reaction.
+
+// Given a list of mines, determine which mine would blow the most total number of
+// mines if it were to blow up. The output should be a pair of the mine and the
+// total number of mines that it blows up, including itself.
+
+// mines = [

+//    (6, 6, 1),
+//    (1, 2, 3),

+// ]
+// print(most_blown_up(mines)) == ((-1, -1, 3), 3)
