Problem Statement

Let VV be a finite set of points in three-dimensional space. Let S1,S2,S3S_1, S_2, S_3 be the sets consisting of the orthogonal projections of the points of VV onto the yzyz-plane, zxzx-plane, xyxy-plane, respectively. Prove that V2S1S2S3| V|^2 \leq | S1|\cdot|S2|\cdot |S3|, where A| A| denotes the number of elements in the finite set A.A.
