The plane extension distinguishing number conjecture

Let R2\mathbb{R}^2 be the Euclidean plane with its natural group action, and let extD(R2)\operatorname{ext}_D(\mathbb{R}^2) denote its extension distinguishing number.

Plane extension conjecture.

extD(R2)=7.\operatorname{ext}_D(\mathbb{R}^2)=7.

The value is motivated by lower bounds from faithful graph embeddings and by the relation between extension distinguishing numbers of spheres and Euclidean spaces; determining the exact value remains open.
