Problem 6

Given four distinct parallel planes, prove that there exists a regular tetrahedron with a vertex on each plane.
Step 2 of 5: Record the signed distances of the planes
n⋅b=e,n⋅c=f,n⋅d=gn\cdot b=e,\quad n\cdot c=f,\quad n\cdot d=g
Detailed analysis

Choose one outer plane as the reference plane. Let e, f, g be the signed distances from it to the other three planes, in the order assigned to the remaining vertices.
