Coloured Tverberg's theorem

Let F1,F2,,Fd+1F_1, F_2, \ldots, F_{d+1} be colour classes, each consisting of kk points in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. A colourful kk-partition is a partition of their union into kk pairwise disjoint sets A1,A2,,AkA_1, A_2, \ldots, A_k, each containing one point from every colour class. Coloured Tverberg's theorem. There is a colourful kk-partition A1,A2,,AkA_1, A_2, \ldots, A_k such that their convex hulls intersect. This was conjectured by Bárány, Fürédi and Lovász, and in its full strength was first proposed by Bárány and Larman; it is known when d=1,2d=1,2 or k+1k+1 is prime, but the general case remains open.
