One often encounters problems that are difficult as they are, but become manageable when translated to a different category. Thus very often, problems on Boolean algebras are answered by first transferring them to problems on Boolean spaces. (See, for example, [7]). It is with this spirit that we approach in this paper two problems on Boolean algebras. These problems are two decades old, and are considered to be outstanding problems in the field.
