Find an injection from $\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R$.

Interesting. A classic space-filling curve should work. Are there easier solutions?

Should be, as it was on one of our examples sheets. And I don't even know what that term means :P

There's one that maps all the points in $(0,1) \times (0,1)$ to $(0,1)$. Take $(0.a_1a_2a_3 ... ,0.b_1b_2b_3 ...) \rightarrow 0.a_1b_1a_2b_2a_3b_3...$. Such a map should work also

Yep that should work.
