Erdős problem 505

Erdős Problem 505 (disproved). Borsuk's conjecture is false for sufficiently large nn: there exists a dimension nn and a bounded set SRnS \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n with positive diameter such that SS cannot be covered by n+1n + 1 subsets each of diameter strictly less than diam(S)\operatorname{diam}(S).
