As for requirement 1, I come up with the case that
H1 := mapping all points to +1
H2 := mapping all points to -1
thus d_1 = 0 , d_2 = 0 , d_{1+2} = 1 = d_1 + d_2 + 1
Bad news: the problem requires that each hypothesis set has a finite positive VC dimension, so this particular example does not guarantee that the maximum is greater than the sum of the VC dimension for the case we're being asked about.

I'm still on the fence for this question - my first attempts at constructing an example similar to this where each hypothesis set had a VC dimension of 1 failed to shatter 3 points, but I'm not 100% sure yet that I can't get it to work.
