In the statement of the problem, I should require that every open interval (a,b) with a<b is isomophic to the real numbers, not rational numbers.
That was the form I had originally come up with the problem, but then I got too clever. Dave Marker claims that changing "reals" to "rationals" allows more solutions than I had contemplated, and pointed out why my comtemplated proof for "rationals" fails.
