Abstract
We answer a question of Darji and Keleti by proving that there exists a compact set of measure zero such that for every perfect set there exists such that is uncountable. Using this we answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that it is consistent with (as it follows e.g. from ) that less than many translates of a compact set of measure zero can cover .
