Erdős Problem #655 remains OPEN. Statement: Let $x_1,\ldots,x_n\in \mathbb{R}^2$ be such that no circle whose centre is one of the $x_i$ contains three other points. Are there at least $$(1+c)\frac{n}{2}$$ distinct distances determined between the $x_i$, for some constant $c>0$ and all $n$ sufficiently large? Zach Hunter has observed that taking $n$ points equally spaced on a circle disproves one natural interpretation of this conjecture. Topics: geometry, distances. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: possible.
