Weak Borsuk conjecture for polytopes

About 11 years old · traced to

Let P⊆RdP\subseteq\mathbb R^d be a polytope with mm facets. A covering by smaller-diameter sets is a cover of PP by sets whose diameters are strictly smaller than the diameter of PP. Weak Borsuk conjecture for polytopes. Every polytope PP with mm facets can be covered by mm sets of smaller diameter. The source says that a positive answer would give an alternative route concerning projections of the cut polytope, but gives no resolution status.
