In a recent issue of this Journal, Pu [3] has given an interesting construction of a nonmeasurable subset A of R such that for all intervals I in R. [Throughout this note, the symbol λ denotes Lebesgue outer measure on R or Haar outer measure on a general locally compact group.] This solves a problem stated in [2], p. 295, Exercise (18.30).
