Hypothesis: HR 309:

The Banach-Tarski Paradox: There are three finite partitions \(\{P_1,\ldots\), \(P_n\}\), \(\{Q_1,\ldots,Q_r\}\) and \(\{S_1,\ldots,S_n, T_1,\ldots,T_r\}\) of \(B^3 = \{x\in {\Bbb R}^3 : |x| \le 1\}\) such that \(P_i\) is congruent to \(S_i\) for \(1\le i\le n\) and \(Q_i\) is congruent to \(T_i\) for \(1\le i\le r\).

Conclusion: HR 119:

van Douwen's choice principle: \(C(\aleph_{0}\),uniformly orderable with order type of the integers): Suppose \(\{ A_{i}: i\in\omega\}\) is a set and there is a function \(f\) such that for each \(i\in\omega,\ f(i)\) is an ordering of \(A_{i}\) of type \(\omega^{*}+\omega\) (the usual ordering of the integers), then \(\{A_{i}: i\in\omega\}\) has a choice function.
