Question: All distances of point to point on the sphere are to be integer.

The two points on the sphere has radius r=1/2. So, the distance is 1.
The three points on the sphere has radius r=1/sqrt(3). So, all distances are 1.
The four points on the sphere has radius r=sqrt(6)/4. So, all distances are 1.
What is the smallest sphere radius for 5 points and above numbers?  

Find the smallest sphere radius and 3D position of each point.

Answer of smaller radius is better.
