Let $abc=k$, then $a,b,c\ (a<b<c)$ are the roots of cubic equation $x^3-6x^2+9x-k=0\Longleftrightarrow x(x-3)^2=k$
that is to say, $a,b,c\ (a<b<c)$ are the $x$-coordinates of the interception of points between $y=x(x-3)^2$ and
$y=k$.
$y=x(x-3)^2$ have local maximuml value of $4$ at $x=1$ and local minimum value of $0$ at $x=3$.
Since the $x$-coordinate of the interception point between $y=x(x-3)^2$ and $y=4$ which is the tangent line at
local maximum point $(1,4)$ is a point $(4,4)$,Moving the line $y=k$ so that the two graphs $y=x(x-3)^2$ and
$y=k$ have the distinct three interception points,we can find that the range of $a,b,c$ are
$0<a<1,1<b<3,3<c<4
$,we are done.[/hide]

Players $A$ and $B$ play the following game on the coordinate plane. Player $A$ hides a nut at one of the points with integer coordinates, and player $B$ tries to find this hidden nut. In one move $B$ can choose three different points with integer coordinates, then $A$ tells whether these three points together with the nut's point lie on the same circle or not. Can $B$ be guaranteed to find the nut in a finite number of moves?
