Prompts for discussion:

  1. The proof for the bound on the number of equidistant points was borrowed from this answer.

  2. A natural question seems to be: what about three distances? Or n points and k distinct distances?

  3. What the number of points where one distance is seen at most p times and the other is seen at most q times? In particular, I was wondering if we could get to an “almost one distance” situation by saying that the “other distance” does not manifest frequently.
