    Right. Somehow I was thinking only of the floor being uneven, not the table legs. Surely it’s trivial to have table legs sufficiently different to not fit on any arbitrary shape of floor?

      Haha yes :) I was somehow thinking for this type of problem, the usual case is the legs are uneven… because if the floor is uneven or not level the table will be uneven or not level regardless of whether it has 0, 1, or n legs. But I guess the problem is about “wobbling” not about being level.

        If the table has three legs it will be stable on any floor no matter how uneven (up to some limit!). Won’t be perfectly flat, but won’t wobble.
