Problem 6

Given four distinct parallel planes, prove that there exists a regular tetrahedron with a vertex on each plane.
Step 1 of 5: Choose a reference regular tetrahedron
A=0,AB=b,AC=c,AD=dA=0,\quad AB=b,\quad AC=c,\quad AD=d
Detailed analysis

Take any regular tetrahedron and put one vertex at the origin. Denote the three edge vectors from that vertex by b, c, d; they are linearly independent.
