Solutions

Many thanks go to students and graduate mentors for writing, tex-ing and checking solutions!
Solutions to the topology problems are here.
Solutions to the metric space problems are here.

One solution to the isometry problem (#21 in metric spaces problem list) is in the paper On Isometries of Euclidean spaces by F. S. Beckman and D. A. Quarles, Jr. in Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol 4, No. 5. (Oct 1953), pp 810-815.
Another solution is in The Mathematical Intelligencer, Vol 10, No 4, 1988, p. 47.
