For pairwise distinct nonnegative reals $a,b,c$, prove that
$$\frac{a^2}{(b-c)^2}+\frac{b^2}{(c-a)^2}+\frac{c^2}{(b-a)^2}>2$$
Without loss of generality, let's assume $a$ is the the smallest among these three numbers. Then there must exist two positive real number $x$ and $y$ so that $b=a+x, c=a+y$.
\begin{align}
&\frac{a^2}{(b-c)^2}+\frac{b^2}{(c-a)^2}+\frac{c^2}{(a-b)^2}\\
&=\frac{a^2}{(x-y)^2}+\frac{(a+x)^2}{y^2}+\frac{(a+y)^2}{x^2}\\
&\ge\frac{x^2}{y^2}+\frac{y^2}{x^2}\\
& > 2
\end{align}
