We consider a combinatorial problem related to guessing the values of a function at various points based on its values at certain other points, often presented by way of a hat-problem metaphor: there are a number of players who will have colored hats placed on their heads, and they wish to guess the colors of their own hats. A visibility relation specifies who can see which hats. This paper focuses on the existence of minimal predictors: strategies guaranteeing at least one player guesses correctly,...

Let c be the Banach space consisting of all convergent sequences of reals with the sup-norm, $C_{\infty }(A,c)$ the set of all bounded continuous functions f: A → c, and $C_A(X,c)$ the set of all functions f: X → c which are continuous at each point of A ⊂ X. We show that a Tikhonov subspace A of a topological space X is strong Choquet in X if there exists a monotone extender $u:C_{\infty }(A,c)\to C_A(X,c)$. This shows that the monotone extension property for bounded c-valued functions can fail in GO-spaces, which provides a negative answer to a question...
