Abstract
We present a topological characterization of the Sierpiński triangle. This answers question 58 from the Problem book of the Open Problem Seminar held at Charles University. In fact we give a characterization of the Apollonian gasket first. Consequently we show that any subcontinuum of the Apollonian gasket, whose boundary consists of three points, is homeomorphic to the Sierpiński triangle.
