Suppose $C \subset \mathbb{R}$ is of type $F_{\sigma}$. That is $C$ can be written as the union of $F_{n}$'s where each $F_{n}$'s are closed. Then can we prove that each point of $C$ is a point of discontinuity for some $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$.

I refered this link on wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomae%27s_function and in the follow up subsection they given this result. I would like somebody to explain it more precisely.

    You need to say something more if you want an interesting problem. Maybe you want the $F_n$'s to be small in some sense?2010-08-28

I believe you're looking for something like the construction mentioned here.
