US-TST 2004 Problem 5

    Let A=(0,0,0)A = (0, 0, 0) in 3D space. Define the weight of a point as the sum of the absolute values of the coordinates. Call a point a primitive lattice point if all of its coordinates are integers whose gcd is 1. Let square ABCDABCD be an unbalanced primitive integer square if it has integer side length and also, BB and DD are primitive lattice points with different weights. Prove that there are infinitely many unbalanced primitive integer squares such that the planes containing the squares are not parallel to each other.
