IMO 2007 Problem 6

  • Day 2

Let nn be a positive integer. Consider S={(x,y,z)∣x,y,z∈{0,1,…,n},x+y+z>0}S = \left\{ (x,y,z) \mid x,y,z \in \{ 0, 1, \ldots, n\}, x + y + z > 0 \right \} as a set of (n+1)3−1(n + 1)^{3} - 1 points in the three-dimensional space. Determine the smallest possible number of planes, the union of which contains SS but does not include (0,0,0)(0,0,0) .
