Problem Statement

Find the smallest positive number λ\lambda such that for an arbitrary 1212 points on the plane P1,P2,...P12P_1,P_2,...P_{12} (points may coincide), with distance between arbitrary two of them does not exceeds 11, holds the inequality 1ij12PiPj2λ\sum_{1\le i\le j\le 12} P_iP_j^2 \le \lambda
