Problem Statement

Let {xn}\{x_n\} be a Van Der Corput series,that is,if the binary representation of nn is ai2i\sum a_{i}2^{i} then xn=ai2i1x_n=\sum a_i2^{-i-1}.Let VV be the set of points on the plane that have the form (n,xn)(n,x_n).Let GG be the graph with vertex set VV that is connecting any two points (p,q)(p,q) if there is a rectangle RR which lies in parallel position with the axes and RV={p,q}R\cap V= \{p,q\}.Prove that the chromatic number of GG is finite.
