(1) For any countable ordinal number \alpha there exists a Borel measurable function g:R-->R such that g+f is a Darboux function (is almost continuous in the sense of Stallings) for every f in B\alpha. This solves a problem of J. Ceder.

(2) There is a function g that is universally measurable and has the Baire property in restricted sense such that g+f is Darboux for every Borel measurable function f.

(3) There is g:R-->R such that f+g is extendable for each f:R-->R that is Lebesgue measurable (has the Baire property).

(4) For every countable ordinal number \alpha, each f from B\alpha is the sum of two extendable functions g and h from B\alpha. This answers a question of A. Maliszewski.
