Consider different orderings of an n ‐element set and the hypergraph consisting of the intervals of these orderings. A conjecture of J. Beck states that in the case of three orderings this hypergraph has bounded discrepancy. We show that for any constant number of orderings the discrepancy is O (log n ). the proof also gives an efficient algorithm to determine such a coloring.
