This note answers a question raised by Lee Mohler in 1970, by exhibiting a finite topological space X which is the union of closed subspaces Y, Z, such that Y, Z, and Y ⋂ Z, but not X, have the fixed point property. The example is a triangulation △ of S3, the points of X being the simplices of Δ and the closed sets the subcomplexes of △.
