Some of the points in the plane are white and some are blue (every point of the plane is either white or blue). Prove that for every positive number $r$: (a) there are at least two points with different color such that the distance between them is equal to $r$; (b) there are at least two points with the same color and the distance between them is equal to $r$; (c) will the statements above be true if the plane is replaced with the real line?
