No claim settles this problem.
Open, the site's label (page last edited 16 October 2025). No result settles the question. Three results decide the question for particular triangles and are recorded as partial claims: Shader's refereed theorem of 1976 that every right triangle, and every triangle of two further one-parameter families, has a monochromatic congruent copy in every two-coloring of the plane, on Shader 1976 (accepted on the refereed publication alone); the triangle families of the 1975 colloquium paper of Erdős, Graham, Montgomery, Rothschild, Spencer and Straus, on EGMRSS 1975 (claimed, a proceedings volume); and Currier, Moore and Yip's refereed theorem of 2024 that three equally spaced collinear points, and every triangle with , appear monochromatically, on Currier, Moore and Yip 2024 (accepted on the refereed publication alone). No full claim exists, and the standing derives from the claim pages.
