Mummy-trolley huts are located on a straight line at points with coordinates $x_1, x_2,...., x_n$. In this village are going to build $3$ stores $A, B$ and $C$, of which will be brought every day to all Moomin-trolls chocolates, bread and water. For the delivery of chocolate, the store takes the distance from the store to the hut, raised to the square; for bread delivery , take the distance from the store to the hut; for water delivery take distance $1$, if the distance is greater than $1$ km, but do not take anything otherwise. a) Where to build each of the stores so that the total cost of all Moomin-trolls for delivery wasthe smallest? b) Where to place the TV tower, if the fee for each Moomin-troll is the maximum distance from the TV tower to the farthest hut from it? c) How will the answer change if the Moomin-troll huts are not located in a straight line, and on the plane?

There are several triangles. From them a new triangle is obtained according to the following rule.
