Abstract
Let n ≥ 1 be an odd integer. For every 1 ≤ i ≤ n let si = (ai, bi) be an open unit segment on the real line. Let (Equation presented) be fixed. Color by green all the points (numbers) on the real line of the form ai + ϵ and bi − ϵ. Then there exists at least one green point that belongs to an odd number of the segments s1, …, sn.
