In the coordinate space, all planes with the equations x±y±z=n (for all integers n) were carried out. They divided the space into tetrahedra and octahedra. Suppose that the point (x0,y0,z0) with rational coordinates does not lie in any plane. Prove that there is a positive integer k such that the point (kx0,ky0,kz0) lies strictly inside some octahedron from the partition.
