The level is hard for me to gauge; verifying that this is a counterexample is basic, but not everyone would quickly come up with it in the first place. I'll defer to others to judge whether this is reasonable. | |

(Assuming that the level of mathematics is reasonable, which I'm not in a position to judge on this one.) | |
