## Problem

A classifying space for a group G is a connected CW - complex with fundamental group G and all higher homotopy groups trivial. A group is of type Fn if it has a classifying space with finite n-skeleton. For example, type F1 is equivalent to finite generation, and type F2 is equivalent to finite presentability. Type F∞ means type Fn for all n. For n ⩾ 3, does every group of type Fn−1 embed as a subgroup of a group of type Fn? Or even in a group of type F∞? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.146\).
