β¦ Synopsis
P(c, m). If the edges of a countable injinite complete graph G are exactly c-colored, then there exists a countable infinite complete subgraph H of G whose edges are exactly m-colored.
The purpose of this note is to inquire as to which pairs c, m of positive integers make P(c, m) a true statement.
2. Sufficient conditions
If m= 1, then P(c, m) is just Ramsey's theorem with the hypothesis strengthened from c-coloring to exact c-coloring, so P(c,m) is true a fortiori.

A conjecture concerning the Crame r Wold device is answered in the negative by giving a Fourier-free, probabilistic proof using only elementary techniques. It is also shown how a geometric idea allows one to interpret the Crame r Wold device as a special case of a more general concept.

In this note we shall prove a geometric Ramsey theorem. Let T be a triangle with angles 30, 60 and 90 degrees, and with hypotenus of unit length. Then the theorem says that if one threecolors the 3-space, then there is always a copy of T with monochromatic vertices. We shall also show that there is
