Abstract
Mathias (Happy families, Ann. Math. Logic. 12 (1977), 59-111) proved that, assuming the existence of a Mahlo cardinal, it is consistent that CH holds and every set of reals in L(R) is U-Ramsey with respect to every selective ultrafilter U. In this paper, we show that the large cardinal assumption ca nnot be weakened.
