    Peter Brass posed the following problem: is there a finitely generated additive subgroup of real plane vectors, such that infinitely many elements of the group lies on the unit circle? The problem was motivated by the unit distance problem of Paul Erdős. The paper under review provides a construction for such a subgroup with 4 generators.
