On a plane, Bob chooses 3 points $A_0$, $B_0$, $C_0$ (not necessarily distinct) such that $A_0B_0+B_0C_0+C_0A_0=1$. Then he chooses points $A_1$, $B_1$, $C_1$ (not necessarily distinct) in such a way that $A_1B_1=A_0B_0$ and $B_1C_1=B_0C_0$. Next he chooses points $A_2$, $B_2$, $C_2$ as a permutation of points $A_1$, $B_1$, $C_1$.
