Give an example of a collection of functions f_n (x) for 0 < n< infinity each measurable but such that lim sup n->infinity f_n(x) is not measurable.

I think , this collection shouldn't be a sequence of functions otherwise lim sup would be measurable. So I tried with sup first:
Take V as Vitali set and define the collection as X_{a} where X_{a} is a characteristic function of set {a} and a comes from V. clearly sup is X_{V} which is not measurable. Any idea for the lim sup??

Is it possible to choose a decreasing sequence [tex](Q_n)_{n>0}[/tex] of subsets of [tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex] so that [tex]A_n = Q_n + V[/tex] is measurable for each [tex]n[/tex] but [tex]\textstyle\bigcap_n A_n = V[/tex]?
