Let A be the point with coordinates (0, 0, 1), let B be the point with coordinates (2, 2, 1), let C be the midpoint of the line segment AB, let D be the point with coordinates (1,0,0), and let E be the point with coordinates (0,1,0). Let Π be the plane passing through the three points C,D,E. Suppose that the line x=y=z intersects the plane Π at the point P. Write down the first coordinate of P.
