33. Note that the optimal adsorption site in the coarse-grained description of the surface corresponds to the center of the equilateral triangle, whose vertices are three interacting sites of the surface. Note also that the the coarse-grained surface only reflects the basic geometrical properties of the real surface, but they are not identical.
