Abstract: We study the principle ERT "In an infinite sequence over finitely many colours, in some tail every colour that appears appears a second time." and ECT "In an infinite sequence over finitely many colours, in some tail every colour that appears appears infinitely." Over RCA_0*, ERT is equivalent to Sigma1-induction, and ECT is equivalent to Sigma2-induction. In the Weihrauch setting, ERT is equivalent to the finite parallelization of LPO, and ECT to the finite parallelization of the total continuation of closed choice on N. Based on these results, we can speculate a bit on how the need for induction can be reflected in the Weihrauch degree of a problem.
