Problem 603

Erdős Problem #603: declared status 'open'. Formalized: no. Let $(A_i)$ be a family of countably infinite sets such that $\lvert A_i\cap A_j\rvert \neq 2$ for all $i\neq j$. Find the smallest cardinal $C$ such that $\cup A_i$ can always be coloured with at most $C$ colours so that no $A_i$ is monochromatic. Prize: no. Tags: combinatorics, set theory.
