Problem   Let $ H_1 $ and $ H_2 $ be two $ r $-uniform hypergraph on the same vertex set $ V $. Does there always exist a partition of $ V $ into $ r $ classes $ V_1, \dots , V_r $ such that for both $ i=1,2 $, at least $ r!m_i/r^r -o(m_i) $ hyperedges of $ H_i $ meet each of the classes $ V_1, \dots , V_r $?

The bound on the number of hyperedges is what one would expect for a random partition. For graphs, the question was answered in the affirmative in [KO]. Keevash and Sudakov observed that the answer is negative if we consider many hypergraphs instead of just 2 (see [KO] for the example).
