Number Theory Level pending

Suppose that in a set A A of mutually coprime positive integers, for any ordered triple ( x , y , z ) (x, y, z) in A A with x , y , z x, y, z mutually distinct, x 2 x^{2} is a factor of y 3 + z 3 y^{3}+z^{3} . Let X X be the number of distinct elements in A A . Find the maximum possible value of X X .

(If X < 3 X<3 , ( x , y , z ) (x, y, z) might not exist.)
