The Odd Area Conjecture for Unit Disks
For a family $F$ of an odd number $n$ of unit disks in the plane, let $\mathrm{OA}(F)$ be the area covered by an odd number of disks. It was conjectured that $\mathrm{OA}(F) \ge \pi$, the area of a single disk. False: configurations exist with smaller odd area.
