Problem Statement
Call a set of lines good if no lines are concurrent. These lines divide the Euclidean plane into regions (possible unbounded). A coloring is an assignment of two colors to each region, one from the set and the other from , such that no two adjacent regions (adjacent meaning sharing an edge) have the same color or the same color, and there is a region colored for any combination of .A number is colourable if there is a coloring for any set of good lines. Find all colourable .
