| Nov 22, 2023 at 23:34 | comment | added | fedja | This question (without a restriction on $N$) seems equivalent to a well-known problem about whether there is an infinite sequence of subsets $E_i$ of $[0,1]$ such that $|E_i|\ge \frac 12$ but $|E_i\cap E_j|<\frac 14$ for all $i\ne j$. Such a sequence does exist though you cannot replace $\frac 14$ by any smaller number here. | |
