Review text

\textit{P. Erdös}, \textit{R. L. Graham}, \textit{P. Montgomery}, \textit{B. L. Rothschild}, \textit{J. Spencer} and \textit{E. G. Straus} [Infinite finite sets, Colloq. Honour Paul Erdös, Keszthely 1973, Colloq. Math. Soc. János Bolyai 10, 529-558 and 559-584 (1975; Zbl 0313.05002)] showed that for every 2-coloring of Euclidean 3-space and for every triangle \(T\), there is a congruent copy of \(T\) having all vertices of the same color. Does the corresponding result hold for 3-colorings? The first author [Discrete Math. 122, No. 1-3, 349-352 (1993; Zbl 0789.05068)] gave an affirmative answer for the case where \(T\) has angles of \(30^\circ\), \(60^\circ\), and \(90^\circ\). The present note extends this result to all right triangles \(T\).
