Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line; i.e. the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). Find the maximum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 10 points in the plane.

Towards this end, "A" chooses a single digit number and "B" substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). "A" then chooses the next value and "B", the variable to substitute the...
