Question Is the binary affine cube the only 3-connected matroid for which equality holds in the bound where is the circumference (i.e. largest circuit size) of ?
Conjecture There is a finite upper bound on the multiplicities of entries in Pascal's triangle, other than the number .
The number appears once in Pascal's triangle, appears twice, appears three times, and appears times. There are infinite families of numbers known to appear times. The only number known to appear times is . It is not known whether any number appears more than times. The conjectured upper bound could be ; Singmaster thought it might be or . See Singmaster's conjecture.
Conjecture Let is a -separable (the same as for symmetric transitive) compact funcoid and is a uniform space (reflexive, symmetric, and transitive endoreloid) such that . Then .
The main purpose here is to find a direct proof of this conjecture. It seems that this conjecture can be derived from the well known theorem about existence of exactly one uniformity on a compact set. But that would be what I call an indirect proof, we need a direct proof instead.
The direct proof may be constructed by correcting all errors an omissions in this draft article.
Direct proof could be better because with it we would get a little more general statement like this:
Conjecture Let be a -separable compact reflexive symmetric funcoid and be a reloid such that \item ; \item .
Problem Let be a graph, a countable end of , and an infinite set of pairwise disjoint -rays in . Prove that there is a set of pairwise disjoint -rays that devours such that the set of starting vertices of rays in equals the set of starting vertices of rays in .
Conjecture Is it possible to color edges of the complete graph using colors, so that the coloring is proper and no 4-cycle and no 4-edge path is using only two colors?

Basic Question: Given any positive integer n, can any convex polygon be partitioned into n convex pieces so that all pieces have the same area and same perimeter?
Definitions: Define a Fair Partition of a polygon as a partition of it into a finite number of pieces so that every piece has both the same area and the same perimeter. Further, if all the resulting pieces are convex, call it a Convex Fair Partition.
Questions: 1. (Rephrasing the above 'basic' question) Given any positive integer n, can any convex polygon be convex fair partitioned into n pieces?
2. If the answer to the above is "Not always'', how does one decide the possibility of such a partition for a given convex polygon and a given n? And if fair convex partition is allowed by a specific convex polygon for a give n, how does one find the optimal convex fair partition that minimizes the total length of the cut segments?
3. Finally, what could one say about higher dimensional analogs of this question?
Conjecture: The authors tend to believe that the answer to the above 'basic' question is "yes". In other words they guess: Every convex polygon allows a convex fair partition into n pieces for any n

The crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of edge crossings in any drawing of in the plane. In the pairwise crossing number, we minimize the number of pairs of edges that cross.
