P and Q are points on the sphere 1 x² + y² + x² = 4. P₁ and Q₁ are the foots of two perpendiculars from P and Q to the plane y = 4 respectively. P₂ and Q₂ are the foots of two perpendiculars from P and Q to the plane y+√3z +8= 0 respectively. Find the maximum of 2|vec (PQ)|² — |vec (P₁Q₁)|² — |vec (P₂Q2)|²|

Question

Find the maximum. 
This is a published example of a question that was asked on the Korean CSAT exam many years ago. You can find it on Wikipedia. It is not a graded assignment question. 

P and Q are points on the sphere
1
x² + y² + x² = 4.P₁ and Q₁ are the foots of two
perpendiculars from P and Q to the plane y = 4
respectively. P₂ and Q₂ are the foots of two
2
perpendiculars from P and Q to the plane
y+√√√3z +8=0 respectively.
Find the maximum of
2|vec (PQ)|² — |vec (P₁Q₁)|² − |vec (P₂Q₂)|²|
