Sets in Almost General Position
  Erd\H{o}s asked the following question: given $n$ points in the plane in almost general position (no 4 collinear), how large a set can we guarantee to find that is in general position (no 3 collinear)? F\"uredi constructed a set of $n$ points in almost general position with no more than $o(n)$ points in general position. Cardinal, T\'oth and Wood extended this result to $\mathbb{R}^3$, finding sets of $n$ points with no 5 on a plane whose subsets with no 4 points on a plane have size $o(n)$, and asked the question for higher dimensions: for given $n$, is it still true that the largest subset in general position we can guarantee to find has size $o(n)$? We answer their question for all $d$ and derive improved bounds for certain dimensions.
