Does Euclidean space have a compact factor?
No it is not possible. Suppose that $X\times Y\cong\mathbb{R}^n$. Then, as the product is contractible, both $X$ and $Y$ must be contractible spaces. For any $x\in X$, I'll show that $\lbrace x\rbrace …

Connected components of the boundary of an open subset
Yes, it is possible to prove that $f^{-1}(0)$ has an unbounded component. I'll give a proof of this. I see that BS already has one proof -- maybe that can also be translated into a similar argument. I …

Including a Jordan arc into a Jordan loop (Can the Magi go home by another way?)
Yes they can! Every Jordan arc can be included in a Jordan loop. I'll give you the simplest proof I could think of, which only uses very basic topology. It also shows that the lemma you propose does i …
