Let be a graph with chromatic number . Is it true that there is a colouring of the edges with many colours such that, in any countable colouring of the vertices, there exists a vertex colour containing all edge colours?
A problem of Erdős, Galvin, and Hajnal. The consistency of this was proved by Hajnal and Komjáth.
