We say a finite set $S$ of points in the plane is [i]very[/i] if for every point $X$ in $S$, there exists an inversion with center $X$ mapping every point in $S$ other than $X$ to another point in $S$ (possibly the same point).
(a) Fix an integer $n$. Prove that if $n \ge 2$, then any line segment $\overline{AB}$ contains a unique very set $S$ of size $n$ such that $A, B \in S$.
(b) Find the largest possible size of a very set not contained in any line.
(Here, an [i]inversion[/i] with center $O$ and radius $r$ sends every point $P$ other than $O$ to the point $P'$ along ray $OP$ such that $OP\cdot OP' = r^2$.)
