% File : MSC006-1 : TPTP v9.0.0. Released v1.0.0.
% Domain : Miscellaneous
% Problem : A "non-obvious" problem
% Version : Especial.
% English : Suppose there are two relations, P and Q. P is transitive, and
% Q is both transitive and symmetric. Suppose further the
% "squareness" of P and Q: any two things are related either in
% the P manner or the Q manner. Prove that either P is total or
% Q is total.

% Comments : Rudnicki says "I think that what you call the non-obvious
% problem from our write-up with Jeff should be attributed
% to J. \Lo\'{s} (in LaTeX)." and "J. \Lo\'{s} is in LaTeX,
% and it is the name of my Polish prof that told me that.
% English approximation of his name can be typed as J. Los.".
