Validator for problem 060: Tammes Problem for n=15
The Tammes problem asks to place n points on a unit sphere to maximize
the minimum pairwise distance.
For n=15, this validator:
1. Checks all points are on the unit sphere S²
2. Computes the minimum pairwise distance
3. Reports the angular separation in degrees
Expected input format:
{"points": [[x, y, z], ...]} 15 points on S²
or [[x, y, z], ...]
