Problem

Determine all finite sets $S$ of at least three points in the plane which satisfy the following condition:

For any two distinct points $A$ and $B$ in $S$, the perpendicular bisector of the line segment $AB$ is an axis of symmetry of $S$.

Solution

Upon reading this problem and drawing some points, one quickly realizes that the set
