Independence of the axiomatics of metric cones
OK you are right. This counter example is difficult to find. Did you know it before, or you managed to find it so quickly ?

Independence of the axiomatics of metric cones
I'm afraid your counter example doesn't work. I have not checked all the axioms (in particular the fact that $d$ is a distance) but the calculus of the last line is wrong. It should be replaced by : $$d(a.x;b.y)+d(a'.x;b'.y) = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4} > d((a+a').x;(b+b').y).$$ I'm sorry. Nevertheless, your method for finding a counter example is a good one, I've been looking this way for quite a long without any success.
