Problem Statement

Suppose that we have a countable set AA of balls and a unit cube in R3\mathbb R^3. Assume that for every finite subset BB of AA it is possible to put all balls of BB into the cube in such a way that they have disjoint interiors. Show that it is possible to arrange all the balls in the cube so that all of them have pairwise disjoint interiors.
