ISL 1988 Problem 57

    SS is the set of all sequences {ai∣1≤i≤7,ai=0 or 1}.\{a_i| 1 \leq i \leq 7, a_i = 0 \text{ or } 1\}. The distance between two elements {ai}\{a_i\} and {bi}\{b_i\} of SS is defined as ∑i=17∣ai−bi∣.\sum^7_{i = 1} |a_i - b_i|. TT is a subset of SS in which any two elements have a distance apart greater than or equal to 3. Prove that TT contains at most 16 elements. Give an example of such a subset with 16 elements.
