Which finite triple systems occur in every triple system of uncountable chromatic number? The claimed characterization: exactly those that, after removing isolated vertices, are linear, have every hyperedge-node of their Levi graph meeting a bridge, and have every Berge cycle even.

Graph analogue — no odd cycle is obligatory (Erdős–Galvin–Hajnal [EGH75]): For every odd k3k \geq 3, there exists a graph with chromatic cardinal 1\aleph_1 that contains no cycle of length kk. This shows the class of obligatory graphs is strictly smaller than all finite graphs.
