The unresolved remainder is the full displayed statement. Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 91: For a finite set $A\\subset\\mathbb{R}^2$, let $d(A)$ denote the number of distinct Euclidean distances between pairs of distinct points of $A$. For each positive integer $n$, define $m(n)$ to be the minimum value of $d(A)$ over all sets $A\\subset\\mathbb{R}^2$ with $|A|=n$. A set $A$ with $|A|=n$ and $d(A)=m(n)$ is called optimal (for $n$). Two finite sets $A,B\\subset\\mathbb{R}^2$ are called similar if there exists a dilation of the plane mapping $A$ onto $B$ (where a dilation is a composition of a scaling and an isometry). For each $n$, we say that $n$ has a unique minimizer if all optimal sets for $n$ are similar to one another. Determine whether, for all sufficiently large integers $n$, the number $n$ does not have a unique minimizer.",
