% File     : MSC006-1 : TPTP v8.2.0. 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.".
