Mar 9, 2011 at 22:51 comment added Fedor Petrov As for the second question, the answer is also positive, proved by Hiroshi Maeharaa and Norihide Tokushigea, in European Journal of Combinatorics (Volume 30, Issue 5, July 2009, Pages 1337-1351).

Mar 2, 2011 at 15:43 comment added Peter Shor The OP is looking for a set of five points so that, for every four of them, the four points are contained in a ball (or maybe on a sphere) of radius 1, and yet all five are not. I think we have a foreign-language issue here, in that the English is not precise enough to tell whether he is asking for "on the surface of a sphere" or "in the interior of a ball".
Mar 2, 2011 at 15:31 comment added aaron The question seems to be: do there exist 5 points in $R^3$ with ... [a certain property]?
Mar 2, 2011 at 15:04 comment added ARupinski What exactly is the question?
Mar 2, 2011 at 14:52 comment added aaron When you say "in a sphere" do you mean "on a sphere"?
