Here's a very *easy*, and nice, puzzle. This puzzle is a close relative of the one I posted on New Years' eve. No flames, please, for posting something so simple. Simple things can be interesting sometimes, as some of you would undoubtedly agree. Suppose you are given 3 colors and asked to assign a color to each point in a plane such that (a) you *must* use more than one color for the entire plane; (b) *every* pair of points 1 inch apart are colored alike. Can you make such an assignment ? The plane is a continuum of points, it is not a grid. Kanad
