On Peano mappings (Q1307436)

The author gives a short proof of the following theorem of \textit{H. Hahn} [Ann. Mat. (3) 21, 33-55 (1913; JFM 44.0560.02)]: If \({\mathbf I}\) is a closed interval, and if \(\varphi:{{\mathbf I}}\to{\mathbf I}^2\) is continuous and onto, then \(\{y\in {\mathbf I}^2: \text{card} \varphi^{-1}(y)\geq 3\}\) is dense in \({\mathbf I}^2\).
