Abstract
Every collection of t greater than or equal to 2n(2) triangles with a total of n vertices in R(3) has Omega(t(4)/n(6)) crossing pairs. This implies that one of their edges meets Omega(t(3)/n(6)) of the triangle s. From this it follows that n points in R(3) have only O(n(8/3)) halv ing planes.
