Motivated [by this post](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/259251/a-consecutive-resolution-of-continum-algebras-to-a-simple-continum-algebra) we give the following definition: **Definition:** A pair of unital rings $(R,S)$ is called a consecutive pair of rings if they do not have non trivial idempotent and satisfy the following two conditions: 1)There is a surjective morphism $\phi:R\to S$. 2)For a ring $W$ which is neither isomorphic to $R$ nor to $S$, there is no a surjective sequence of morphisms $R\to W \to S$. Let $C([0,1])$ be the ring of all complex continuous functions. >Is the pair $(C([0,1]), \mathbb{C})$ a consecutive pair of rings?
