| Apr 4, 2011 at 19:29 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | @Mariano: sure, how about this? people.fas.harvard.edu/~amathew/HMMT.pdf (I was going to give you the link to Monsky's original article, but to my surprise he does not explicitly use Sperner's Lemma. But that's the way it was presented in a talk given by Aaron Abrams in the graduate student seminar at UGA a few years ago. By the way, this was maybe the best talk I have seen in my five years in Georgia...) | |

| Apr 3, 2011 at 23:10 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | I don't know about 100% useful, but since I have seen a striking use for it (in the proof of Monsky's theorem about cutting a rectangle into congruent triangles) I won't object on that account. I note that the OP's suggestions seem more reasonable than some of the answers... | |
