Dec 19, 2010 at 17:25 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine @oktan, @mathahada: you don’t need to throw constant functions in; if the finite set of functions is presented as an infinite sequence, as the question specifies, e.g. $f_1, \ldots f_k, f_k, f_k, \ldots$, and if again we’re careful to take the question literally and look not at whether sets of functions are infinite but at whether subsequences are, then it’s clear that this list doesn’t satisfy the property.

Dec 19, 2010 at 15:53 comment added mathahada @Joel - yes. I have not even considered that option :) @oktan - You are totally right, but that's easily fixed by extending the list to an infinite set consisting of constant functions
Dec 19, 2010 at 15:45 comment added Stefan Hoffelner Do finitely many $f_1,...f_n$ not always satisfy the desired property?
Dec 19, 2010 at 15:39 comment added Joel David Hamkins If CH fails, it is impossible, by taking any uncountable $K$ of size less than $\mathbb{R}$. Perhaps you want $K$ of size continuum?
