Let nn be a positive integer. Let A,BA, B and CC be three nn-dimensional subspaces of R2n\mathbb{R}^{2n} with the property that A∩B=B∩C=C∩A={0}A \cap B = B \cap C = C \cap A = \{0\}. Prove that there exist bases {a1,a2,…,an}\{a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n\} of AA, {b1,b2,…,bn}\{b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n\} of BB and {c1,c2,…,cn}\{c_1, c_2, \ldots, c_n\} of CC with the property that for each i∈{1,2,…,n}i \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}, the vectors ai,bia_i, b_i and cic_i are linearly dependent.
