Show that there exists a town from which you can make a round-trip, without using the same road more than once, and for which the number of roads used is not divisible by $3$. (Not all towns need to be visited.)

We say that a finite set of points is [i]well scattered[/i] on the surface of a sphere if every open hemisphere (half the surface of the sphere without its boundary) contains at least one of the points. The set $\{ (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1) \}$ is not well scattered on the unit sphere (the sphere of radius $1$ centered at the origin), but if you add the correct point $P$ it becomes well scattered. Find, with proof, all possible points $P$ that would make the set well scattered.
