Problem
A set 
of points in the 
-plane is symmetric about the orgin, both coordinate axes, and the line 
. If 
is in , what is the smallest number of points in ?
Solution
If is in , then 
is also, and quickly we see that every point of the form 
or 
must be in . Now note that these 
points satisfy all of the symmetry conditions. Thus the answer is 
.
