Choose an
idempotent ultrafilter on the natural numbers
U
and
a
color
class
A
∈
U
. The
set
A
∗
=
{
x
∈
A
:
A
−
x
∈
U
}
(1)
also belongs to
U
, and
A
∗
−
x
∈
U
for every
x
∈
A
∗
. Recursively choosing each new term from the finitely many required translates of
A
∗
puts every nonempty finite
sum
in
A
.
