Let $B=(B_t)_{0 le t le 1}$ be the standard Brownian motion started at 0, and let $S_t=$ $max_{ 0 le r le t} B_r$ for $0 le t le 1$. Consider the optimal stopping problem $displaystyle V_*= inf
olimits_ au mathbf{E}(B_ au -S_1)^2$, where the infimum is taken over all stopping times of B satisfying $0 le au le 1$. We show that the infimum is attained at the stopping time $$ au _* = inf ig{ 0le tle1 mid S_t-B_t ge z_* sqrt{1-t } ig}, $$ where $z_*=1.12 ldots$ is a unique root of the equation $displaystyle 4 Phi (z_*)-2z_*varphi(z_*)-3=0$ with $varphi(x)=(1/sqrt{2 pi }),e^{-x^2/2}$ and $ Phi (x)=int_{-infty}^x varphi(y) dy$. The value $V_*$ equals $2 Phi (z_*)-1$. The method of proof relies upon a stochastic integral representation of $S_1$, time-change arguments, and the solution of a free-boundary (Stefan) problem.
