Problem Statement

Show that there doesn't exist two infinite and separate sets A,BA,B of points such that
(i) There are no three collinear points in ABA \cup B,
(ii) The distance between every two points in ABA \cup B is at least 11, and
(iii) There exists at least one point belonging to set BB in interior of each triangle which all of its vertices are chosen from the set AA, and there exists at least one point belonging to set AA in interior of each triangle which all of its vertices are chosen from the set BB.
