Theorem
Let $3$ planes which are pairwise non-parallel be constructed in ordinary $3$-dimensional space.
Then that space is divided into $8$ parts by those planes.
Proof
![]() | This theorem requires a proof. In particular: Intuitively obvious but needs a run-up It's not actually even true -- consider the case where all $3$ lines of intersection of the $3$ planes are parallel. Needs to be reworded, presumably just means the lines of intersection are pairwise non-parallel as well. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by crafting such a proof.
