Points $A_1$, $A_2$, $A_3$, $A_4$ are the vertices of a regular tetrahedron of edge length $1$. The points $B_1$ and $B_2$ lie inside the figure bounded by the plane $A_1A_2A_3$ and the spheres of radius $1$ and centres $A_1$, $A_2$, $A_3$.

Five points are chosen on the sphere, no three of them lying on a great circle (a great circle is the intersection of the sphere with some plane passing through the sphere’s centre).
