A Russian emigre student here brought the problem below with him.
His story was that it had been a question on a test in Moscow. 
The student presented a solution to his professor, who OKed it,
but the student later realized his solution was incorrect.
Recently another student here has developed a solution.  I offer
the problem for those who are interested, but also ask if anybody
knows if a solution is in print.
 
Prove or find counterexample:  Given any function f on the reals,
there is a dense subset S such that f restricted to S is continuous.
 
(NB.  Not: f is continuous on S.)

    So far, I think I have got the "incorrect" version of that proof... 
    Will give another try later.
