The Hales-Jewett theorem for alphabet of size 3 states that whenever the Hales-Jewett cube [3]^n is r-coloured there is a monochromatic line (for n large). Conlon and Kamcev conjectured that, for any n, there is a 2-colouring of [3]^n for which there is no monochromatic line whose active coordinate set is an interval. In this note we disprove this conjecture.

For integers $n$ and $k$, the density Hales-Jewett number $c_{n,k}$ is defined as the maximal size of a subset of $[k]^n$ that contains no combinatorial line. We show that for $k ge 3$ the density Hales-Jewett number $c_{n,k}$ is equal to the maximal
size of a cylinder intersection in the problem $Part_{n,k}$ of testing whether $k$ subsets of $[n]$ form a partition. It follows that the communication complexity, in the Number On the Forehead (NOF) model, of $Part_{n,k}$, is equal to the minimal size of a partition of $[k]^n$ into subsets that do not contain a combinatorial line. Thus, the bound in cite{chattopadhyay2007languages} on $Part_{n,k}$ using the Hales-Jewett theorem is in fact tight, and the density Hales-Jewett number can be thought of as a quantity in communication complexity. This gives a new angle to this well studied quantity. As a simple application we prove a lower bound on $c_{n,k}$, similar to the lower bound in cite{polymath2010moser} which is roughly $c_{n,k}/k^n ge exp(-O(log n)^{1/lceil log_2 krceil})$. This lower bound follows from a protocol for $Part_{n,k}$. It is interesting to better understand the communication complexity of $Part_{n,k}$ as this will also lead to the better understanding of the Hales-Jewett number. The main purpose of this note is to motivate this study.

A conjecture of Leader, Russell and Walters in Euclidean Ramsey theory says that a finite set is Ramsey if and only if it is congruent to a subset of a set whose symmetry group acts transitively. As they have shown the ``if direction of their conject
ure follows if all finite groups have a Hales--Jewett type property. In this paper, we show that this property is satisfied in the case of finite solvable groups. Our result can be used to recover the work of Kv{r}iv{z} in Euclidean Ramsey theory.
Hellys theorem is a classical result concerning the intersection patterns of convex sets in $mathbb{R}^d$. Two important generalizations are the colorful version and the fractional version. Recently, B{a}r{a}ny et al. combined the two, obtaining a co
lorful fractional Helly theorem. In this paper, we give an improved version of their result.
If L is a partition of n, the rank of L is the size of the largest part minus the number of parts. Under the uniform distribution on partitions, Bringmann, Mahlburg, and Rhoades showed that the rank statistic has a limiting distribution. We identify
the limit as the difference between two independent extreme value distributions and as the distribution of B(T) where B(t) is standard Brownian motion and T is the first time that an independent three-dimensional Brownian motion hits the unit sphere. The same limit holds for the crank.
In 1990, Alon and Kleitman proposed an argument for the sum-free subset problem: every set of n nonzero elements of a finite Abelian group contains a sum-free subset A of size |A|>frac{2}{7}n. In this note, we show that the argument confused two diff
erent randomness. It applies only to the finite Abelian group G = (Z/pZ)^s where p is a prime. For the general case, the problem remains open.
