1.) In the plane let us consider a set $S$ consisting of $n \geq 3$ distinct points satisfying the following three conditions: [b]I.[/b] The distance between any two points $\in S$ is not greater than 1. [b]II.[/b] For every point $A \in S$, there are exactly two “neighbor” points, i.e. two points $X, Y \in S$ for which $AX = AY = 1$. [b]III. [/b] For arbitrary two points $A, B \in S$, let $A', A''$ be the two neighbors of $A, B', B''$ the two neighbors of $B$, then $A'AA'' = B'BB''$. Is there such a set $S$ if $n = 1991$? If $n = 2000$ ?
