We show that reconstructing a curve in ℝd for d≥ 2 from a 0.66-sample is always possible using an algorithm similar to the classical NN-Crust algorithm. Previously, this was only known to be possible for 0.47-samples in ℝ2 and (1)/(3)-samples in ℝd for d≥ 3. In addition, we show that there is not always a unique way to reconstruct a curve from a 0.72-sample; this was previously only known for 1-samples. We also extend this non-uniqueness result to hypersurfaces in all higher dimensions.
