b
Restrict the given finite edge-colouring to the positive integers inside Q. The infinite Ramsey theorem gives an infinite monochromatic subset; listing it in increasing order produces
x1​<x2​<⋯.
(1)
Apply the same theorem separately to the negative integers. If the selected indices satisfy n1​<n2​<⋯, then
yi​=−ni​
(2)
forms a monochromatic set with y1​>y2​>⋯. The two monochromatic colours need not agree.
