%I #16 Mar 31 2012 10:23:03

%S 1,1,1,8,73,174,22270

%N Minimum diameter of an integral set of n points in the plane, no 3 on a line, no 4 on a circle.

%C An integral set is a set where all distances between points are integers.

%C As of 2011, it is not known if this sequence is finite or even if a(8) exists.
