Consider the problem of reasoning about the identity of a set from the size of its intersections with other sets. You are given a finite set U of size n, and a collection A1,..., Am of subsets of U. You are also given numbers c1,cm. The question is: Does there exist a set X c U so that for each i = 1,2,..., m, the cardinality of X n Ai is equal to ci? We will call this an instance of the Intersection Inference Problem, with input U, {Ai}, and {ci}.

Prove that Intersection Inference is NP-complete.
