Prove that any uncountable subset of the Euclidean $ n$-space contains an countable subset with the property that the distances between different pairs of points are different (that is, for any points $ P_1 \not\equal{} P_2$ and $ Q_1\not\equal{} Q_2$ of this subset, $ \overline{P_1P_2}\equal{}\overline{Q_1Q_2}$ implies either $ P_1\equal{}Q_1$ and $ P_2\equal{}Q_2$, or $ P_1\equal{}Q_2$ and $ P_2\equal{}Q_1$). Show that a similar statement is not valid if the Euclidean $ n$-space is replaced with a (separable) Hilbert space.

Let $X_1X_2X_3$ be a triangle with $X_1X_2 = 4, X_2X_3 = 5, X_3X_1 = 7,$ and centroid $G$. For all integers $n \ge 3$, define the set $S_n$ to be the set of $n^2$ ordered pairs $(i,j)$ such that $1\le i\le n$ and $1\le j\le n$. Then, for each integer $n\ge 3$, when given the points $X_1, X_2, \ldots , X_{n}$, randomly choose an element $(i,j)\in S_n$ and define $X_{n+1}$ to be the midpoint of $X_i$ and $X_j$. The value of
\[ \sum_{i=0}^\infty \left(\mathbb{E}\left[X_{i+4}G^2\right]\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^i\right) \]
can be expressed in the form $p + q \ln 2 + r \ln 3$ for rational numbers $p, q, r$. Let $|p| + |q| + |r| = \dfrac mn$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $100m+n$.
Note: $\mathbb{E}(x)$ denotes the expected value of $x$.
