Problem Statement

Suppose n4n\geq 4 and let SS be a finite set of points in the space (R3\mathbb{R}^3), no four of which lie in a plane. Assume that the points in SS can be colored with red and blue such that any sphere which intersects SS in at least 4 points has the property that exactly half of the points in the intersection of SS and the sphere are blue. Prove that all the points of SS lie on a sphere.
