The bound should be reasonable (e.g., NOT the TOWER function). You may use the following approximation of the finite 3-ary Ramsey Theorem: {\it $\forall)$ $\COL \colon \binom{[n]}{3}\into [2]$ there exists a homog set of size $\ge \log(\log(n)$.} \vfill \centerline{\bf GO TO NEXT PAGE} \newpage \item (35 points) \begin{enumerate} \item THIS IS NOW EXTRA CREDIT SINCE THE PROOF I HAD IN MIND DOES NOT WORK. Find XXX such that the following is true, and prove it. \bigskip {\it Let $\COL' \colon \binom{\N}{2} \times \N \into [10^{100}]$. Show that there exists infinite sets $A,B\subseteq \N$ such that $\COL'$ restricted to $\binom{A}{2}\times B$ only uses XXX colors.} \bigskip \item Find $c$ such that the following is true, and prove it. \bigskip {\it Let $\COL \binom{\omega+\omega}{3} \into [10^{100}]$. Show that Then there exists an infinite $c$-homogenous set.} that is order equivalent to $\omega+\omega$. ADDED LATER: $c$ CAN BE A FUNCTION OF XXX FROM PART 1. FOR EXAMPLE YOU CAN SAY $c=XXX^2$. (Hint: Use Part a. Thats why its there!) \bigskip \end{enumerate} \vfill \centerline{\bf GO TO NEXT PAGE} \newpage \item (0 points, but you must answer it) As I told you in class, I wrote {\it I can see for miles and miles} as a song about the infinite hat game, but then sold it to {\it The Who} who changed the lyrics. My lyrics are part of these slides: \url{https://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/COURSES/752/S26/slides/miles.pdf} Their lyrics are in this youtube video of the Who singing it: \url{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWt1adCTnd4} Listen to their version and my version as sung by {\it Bad Sequence}. Whose version to you prefer? Consider: \begin{itemize} \item {\bf My version} is about the infinite hat game. \item {\bf The Who's} version has the viewpoint of a guy who thinks his girlfriend is cheating on him but warns her that he knows since, as he puts it, {\it I can see for miles and miles$\ldots$}. \end{itemize} \begin{itemize} \item {\bf The Who} played for the Superbowl halftime show in 2010. The past. \item {\bf Bad Sequence} will play for the Superbowl halftime show in 2027. The future! \end{itemize} \begin{itemize} \item {\bf The Who} has great backup singers, and had musical accompaniment. \item {\bf My version} had neither of those. \end{itemize} \vfill \centerline{\bf GO TO NEXT PAGE} \newpage \item (0 points, but you must answer it) I got the idea for the skit, where Amedeo is confused about the rock band being {\it The Who} from a famous (or is it?) comedy routine called {\it Who's on first} It was performed by the comedy duo Abbott and Costello. Here it is on You Tube \url{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FsJe4DScDs} \noindent a) Listen to it. (I am NOT going to ask what's better theirs or mine, since it's MUCH better, and they were first, unlike the song {\it I can see for miles and $\ldots$} where I was first). \noindent b) Name all of the players that are mentioned in the routine. \noindent c) Here is my question: Have you heard it before? Also include if you've lived in America since you were 10 (see comment below for why I want to know). I ask since it was, at one time, {\it Who's on First} was the most famous comedy routine in America. I suspect it has long faded. I am curious to get data on that, and also correlate with people living in America for a long or short time. \end{enumerate} \end{document}
