Here's another problem I was considering adding into the paper. Bonus points if you can find a method to solve this in less than 3 lines.

I'm interested in ext 1, is there still space?
And am I still welcome to sit it even though I'm looking at a 43-44 atm?

(should be trivial that the modulus of the fraction is 1 since the bottom is the conjugate of the top)

(as )

Hence:



So the three points are collinear due to the condition that equality holds for the triangle inequality IFF the triangle is degenerate, i.e. the vertices are all collinear.
