Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a regular tetrahedron and Z\mathbf{Z} an isometry mapping A,B,C,DA,B,C,D into B,C,D,AB,C,D,A, respectively. Find the set MM of all points XX of the face ABCABC whose distance from Z(X)\mathbf{Z}(X) is equal to a given number tt. Find necessary and sufficient conditions for the set MM to be nonempty.
