I've just been thinking about for what values of n we can place n points in the plane so that any three of those points define an isosceles triangle. A triangle, square and pentagon work for 3,4 and 5, and to get 6 just place a point in the centre of the pentagon.

The question is can we do this for 7 points in the plane?

    This was a problem in the American Mathematical Monthly in 1946, proposed by Erdős. If you have access to JSTOR, here's a solution from 1947: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2304710?seq=1. The solution is by L.M. Kelly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leroy_Milton_Kelly.2010-12-15
