The vertices of a given square are clockwise lettered $A,B,C,D$. On the side $AB$ is situated a point $E$ such that $AE = AB/3$. Starting from an arbitrarily chosen point $P_0$ on segment $AE$ and going clockwise around the perimeter of the square, a series of points $P_0, P_1, P_2, \ldots$ is marked on the perimeter such that $P_iP_{i+1} = AB/3$ for each $i$. It will be clear that when $P_0$ is chosen in $A$ or in $E$, then some $P_i$ will coincide with $P_0$. Does this possibly also happen if $P_0$ is chosen otherwise?

We say a triple of real numbers $ (a_1,a_2,a_3)$ is [b]better[/b] than another triple $ (b_1,b_2,b_3)$ when exactly two out of the three following inequalities hold: $ a_1 > b_1$, $ a_2 > b_2$, $ a_3 > b_3$. We call a triple of real numbers [b]special[/b] when they are nonnegative and their sum is $ 1$. For which natural numbers $ n$ does there exist a collection $ S$ of special triples, with $ |S| \equal{} n$, such that any special triple is bettered by at least one element of $ S$?
