Problem Two players start at a distance of 2 on an (undirected) line (so, neither player knows the direction of the other) and both move at a maximum speed of 1. What is the infimum expected meeting time (first time when the players occupy the same point) which can be achieved assuming the two players must adopt the same strategy?

There is an analogous conjecture for flows ( vector fields . In the case of diffeos this was proved by Charles Pugh for . In the case of Flows this has been solved by Sushei Hayahshy for . But in the two cases the problem is wide open for
Conjecture Any linear hypergraph with incidence poset of dimension at most 3 is the intersection hypergraph of a family of triangles and segments in the plane.
Conjecture Let be a -connected cubic graph and let be a -regular subgraph such that is connected. Then has a cycle double cover which contains (i.e all cycles of ).
Conjecture Given any complex numbers which are linearly independent over the rational numbers , then the extension field has transcendence degree of at least over .
Problem What is the maximum number of colours needed to colour countries such that no two countries sharing a common border have the same colour in the case where each country consists of one region on earth and one region on the moon ?
Consider a set of great circles on a sphere with no three circles meeting at a point. The arrangement graph of has a vertex for each intersection point, and an edge for each arc directly connecting two intersection points. So this arrangement graph is 4-regular and planar.
Conjecture Every arrangement graph of a set of great circles is -colourable.
Conjecture A total coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors to the vertices and the edges of such that every pair of adjacent vertices, every pair of adjacent edges and every vertex and incident edge pair, receive different colors. The total chromatic number of a graph , , equals the minimum number of colors needed in a total coloring of . It is an old conjecture of Behzad that for every graph , the total chromatic number equals the maximum degree of a vertex in , plus one or two. In other words,
