Problem Statement

Points A1,AnA_1, \ldots A_n with rational coordinates lie on a plane. It turned out that the distance between every pair of points is an integer. Prove that there exist points B1,,BnB_1, \ldots ,B_n with integer coordinates such that AiAj=BiBjA_iA_j=B_iB_j for every pair 1ijn1 \leq i \leq j \leq n N. Sheshko, D. Zmiaikou
