Now, let's focus on the intersection point of

Since

𝐴
𝑂

∠AA

Since

∠

∠

∠HAB=90

Since

∠

Thus,
∠

∠HAB=∠AA

By angle chasing, we can deduce that

Similarly,

Hence,

Now, let's denote

Hence,

, where
1

1≤i,j≤n, we can use the Pigeonhole Principle.
Let's denote

=
{
1

…
,
𝑛

}
S={1,2,…,
2

𝐷
D containing the differences
𝑎
𝑖
−
𝑎
𝑗
a
i
−a

for all pairs
𝑖
i and
𝑗
j.
Since there are

𝑎

a

and
𝑛
(
𝑛

)
n(n−1) possible differences
𝑎
𝑖
−
𝑎
𝑗
a

, there are

n

possible elements in set
𝐷
D. Each element in set
𝐷
D is an integer between
−
𝑛
2
2
−
2
n
2
and
𝑛

2
2
n

.
Now, we need to find the maximum possible number of distinct elements in set
𝐷
D.
The minimum possible difference is
1

1−
2
n

, and the maximum possible difference is
𝑛

Now, we have

n

elements to distribute among

possible differences. By the Pigeonhole Principle, at least
𝑛

−
𝑛

n

2
+1=1 difference must repeat at least once.
This implies that there must be at least one pair
(

𝑎

)
(a

j
) such that
𝑎
𝑖
−
𝑎

a

−a

=k for some integer

Now, we want to find the maximum possible number of distinct integers that cannot be represented as
𝑎

𝑎

a
i
−a

for any pair
(
𝑎

(a

).
Since there are

S and we've shown that at least one difference must repeat, at most
𝑛

n

So, at least
