Smallest integer-centred sphere through three points

High school · ●●●○○ 50 pts

A sphere has its center at a point with integer coordinates and passes through the three points (2,0,0)(2,0,0), (0,4,0)(0,4,0), (0,0,6)(0,0,6), but does not pass through the origin (0,0,0)(0,0,0). Let rr be the smallest possible radius of such a sphere. Compute r2r^{2}.
