Martínez–Roldán-Pensado–Rubin's 2-colored line-transversal conjecture

From papers

Let K=K1K2\mathcal{K}=\mathcal{K}_1\uplus\mathcal{K}_2 be a finite 2-colored family of convex sets in R3\mathbb{R}^3. Suppose that every K1K1K_1\in\mathcal{K}_1 and K2K2K_2\in\mathcal{K}_2 satisfy K1K2K_1\cap K_2\neq\emptyset. Martínez–Roldán-Pensado–Rubin's conjecture. There is an absolute constant c>0c>0 such that, for some i{1,2}i\in\{1,2\}, at least cKic|\mathcal{K}_i| members of Ki\mathcal{K}_i can be crossed by a single line. The conjecture is a strengthening of line-transversal results for pairwise intersecting convex sets in three dimensions, and the paper identifies it as an open problem.
