  The ``only if'' direction is harder because it requires the
  construction of a sequence of pairwise different elements of
  an infinite set @{text S}. The idea is to construct a sequence of
  non-empty and infinite subsets of @{text S} obtained by successively
  removing elements of @{text S}.

  For any function with infinite domain and finite range
  there is some element that is the image of infinitely
  many domain elements. In particular, any infinite sequence
  of elements from a finite set contains some element that
  occurs infinitely often.
