Abstract: Woody Bledsoe's last challenge problem is the analogical transfer of
the Heine-Borel theorem for real intervals to the two-dimensional case.
This could not be solved by the up to then known techniques of analogical
theorem proving. The Heine-Borel theorem is a widely known result in
mathematics. It is usually stated in the field of real numbers R

and
similar versions are also true in R

, in topology, and in metric spaces. This
article shows how analogy-driven proof plan construction is... (Update)
