Problem Statement

Denote by B(c,r)B(c,r) the open disk of center cc and radius rr in the plane. Decide whether there exists a sequence {zn}n=1\{z_n\}^\infty_{n=1} of points in R2\mathbb R^2 such that the open disks B(zn,1/n)B(z_n,1/n) are pairwise disjoint and the sequence {zn}n=1\{z_n\}^\infty_{n=1} is convergent.
