This page is going to be a collection of problems (without solutions from me yet) from a math circle that I go to because I don't know where else to put them.

1. Place 4 points on the plane in such a way that every triangle with vertices at these 4 points is isosceles. Could you do the same with 5 points? More than 5 points?

2. Plot 2 points A and B a distance 2 units apart (choose your own unit length).

(a) Place 6 points in such a way that for every point $P$ of these 6 points, \[AP-BP=0,\] i.e. the difference between the distances from P to the two points B is exactly 0.

(b) Place 6 points in such a way that for every point $P$ of these 6 points either \[AP-BP=1\text{ or }BP-AP=1,\] i.e. the positive difference between the distances from P to the two points A and B is exactly 1.
