Mathematicians are used to seeing these sorts of problems and are generally more intrigued by their solutions, but I came across this recently:

Colour every point in the plane either black or white.

Fix any positive distance $d$.

Can I find two identically coloured points which are a distance $d$ apart?

Answer: Of course. Look at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length $d$.
