A subgroup G ⩽ Z ω exhibits the Specker phenomenon if every homomorphism G → Z maps almost all unit vectors to 0. We give several combinatorial characterizations of the cardinal e, the size of the smallest G ⩽ Z ω exhibiting the Specker phenomenon. We also prove the consistency of > e, where is the unbounding number and e the evasion number. Our results answer several questions addressed by Blass.
