I recently came across this in my textbook:

Any three vertices of a cube determine a right triangle. Is this a true statment?

My initial thought was that is was, but the answers say otherwise. I cannot, however, come up with a counterexample.

What three vertices of a cube don't determine a right triangle?

You are standing at a corner. Consider the three corners closest to you.

These three corners determine a triangle, all of whose sides are face diagonals. So all these sides have equal length, the triangle is equilateral.

    That is brilliant. It seems that there still should be right angles where lines from perpendicular planes meet, though, but that can't be...2012-12-17

    You are right about where three perpendicular planes meet, but this triangle kind of slices across. All triangles without a right angle arise in this way. There are some slightly weird ones. For example, let $A$ be a vertex, let $B$ be a neighbouring vertex, and let $C$ be the corner *furthest* from $B$. Then $\triangle ABC$ has sides $1,\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}$ so by the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem it has a right angle at $A$.2012-12-17

Hint: Draw the cube so that it looks like a hexagon.

    If you're referring to a drawing of a cube with the illusion of 3 dimensions, I have tried this. Otherwise, I haven't the slightest idea how to make a cube look like a hexagon. >.>2012-12-17

    Then draw it like you did before, and then find a non-right triangle on this projection.2012-12-17

    I have looked, and had others look. This question is my "I give up; where is it?" :\2012-12-17

    Connect every second vertex of this hexagon. What happens?2012-12-17

    Ah, there it is! That is an interesting way to look at it! Thanks!2012-12-17

Three that involve no edges from the cube. If the vertices are the standard ones for the unit cube, then, $(0,0,0)$, $(0,1,1)$, and $(1,1,0)$ will do.
