## Question

[hadwiger-nelson] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Hadwiger-Nelson problem (chromatic number of the plane). Statement: What is the chromatic number of the plane: the smallest number of colors so that each point of R^2 gets a color and every two points at Euclidean distance 1 have different colors? If unsolved, report the best partial results and references. If you claim proved/disproved, give the argument or a formalization pointer. Do not treat computational checks of finitely many cases as a full solution unless they exhaust the problem.
