Find a function f:R->R (R the set of real numbers), such that
1. f has a discontinuity in every rational number, but is continous everywhere else, and
2. f is monotonic: x<y → f(x)<f(y)
Note: Textbooks frequently present examples of functions that meet only the first condition; requiring monotonicity makes for a slightly more challenging problem.

JLo,
Is this another hint to the solution you had in mind? If not, what was your solution? Like Steve, I'm curious to know...
Plus, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. If the function has the required properties, it has jump disontinuities at every rational, and p^-2 (where p is prime) is rational..so that's a redundant requirement, isn't it? I'm obviously missing something here.
