A family of sets is said to possess property if there exists a set such that and F ⊄ B for each In [1], P. Erdos and A. Hajnal ask the following question: Does there exist for every positive integer k a finite family of finite sets satisfying

  1. (i) |F|=k for each

  1. (ii) | F∩ G| ≤ 1 for each F, , F ≠ G

  1. (iii) does not possess property ?
