In 1978, Zaks posed the following problem. Let \(f: E^ n\to E^ m\), \(2\leq n<m\), be a function (not necessarily continuous) satisfying the following ''distance 1 preserving'' property: for any \(x,y\in E^ n\), the condition \(d(x,y)=1\) implies that \(d(f(x),f(y))=1\) where d(.,.) is the distance. Does it follow that f is an isometry (onto its image)? The corresponding case \(n=m=1\) is false, and the case \(n=m\geq 2\) has been shown. Even the case \(n=2\), \(m=3\) is open. We give an example of a mapping \(f: E^ 2\to E^ 6\) which is distance 1 preserving but not isometric.
