Relay Round Super Relay Tiebreakers... -207- a 209 214 221 . 227 230 . 235 THE 27" ANNUAL MEET In 2002, ARML saw 23 teams take part in Division A and 67 teams in Division B. In addition, Taiwan sent 5 teams and the Philippines sent I. In Division A, Thomas Jefferson and Massachusetts A matched up on the team and relay rounds, but TJ pulled ahead on the individual and Power Question for a solid victory. In Division B, New York City S trailed Southern California by 8 points afier the team round but pulled ahead on the individual and relays for an 8 point victory. The new site at San Jose State proved to be an excellent venue for the second year ina row. Curt Boddie of New York City received the Samuel Greitzer Distinguished Coach Award for his years as a coach, problem poser and solver, and for his love of fine literature, Carrie Kiser Wacker received the Alfred Kalfus Founder's Award for playing a crucial role in establishing the Iowa site. Until recently Carrie was the conference coordinator at lowa. In a much appreciated effort, she was able to get the university to provide air conditioning. Austin Shapiro of Northern California received the Zachary Sobol Award for his fine work with his California team. 208 ARML Team Questions ~ 2002 TI 12 TH.

Also, lowercase letters denote students; uppercase leters denote cliques. For example, C = abed isa clique of four students, a, b,c, and d. We represent a collection of cliques with set notation, eg. { abcd,efigh } isa collection of ‘wo cliques of four students each. We use 5 to stand for the set ofall students, Le. the student body. There is a finite number of students At Archimedes Academy, the faculty is concerned about students" tendency to form cliques and it hires an anthropologist to study the cliques. The anthropologist finds that the cliques at AA satisfy the following three conditions: ‘AL, For any two students there is exactly one clique of which they are both members. A2.

Forany two cliques, there is exactly one student who is member of both HB. There exist three students who are not all members of the same clique.

Then T isa collection of cliques satisfying AI-A3, We can show (not necessary for eredit) that no clique ean have more than two members. First, by A3 no clique ean have four members. Assume that abe is @ clique, Then da, db, and de must aii be distinct cliques by Al (since a, b,c, cannot be members of any other single clique). But by’ A2, if da isa clique, bc must also bea clique, which violates Al. Since all cliques have two members, we can represent them as rows and columns but not diagonals in array ‘The array yields ab, ac, bd, ed as cliques. So far this is not sufficient because we know that a and d are also ‘members of'a clique. So we arrange a, b,c, dinto a second array incorporating ad as @ row, also yielding be as.a clique, b) Letab be a clique. By A2, ¢ must be a member ofa clique that does not include a or b. Therefore, ¢ must bea singleton clique, However, be is atso a clique by axiom Al, so a must be a singleton clique by axiom A2 applied to bc. This is 4 contradiction because a is now a member of two cliques that have no members in ‘common with clique c, namely, the clique a, and the clique ab, 2. Note that two-clement cliques no longer work: if.ab is a clique and od, ce are both cliques, then A2 is violated since & ‘a member of two cliques disjoint from ab. We will look for a collection of cliques each of ‘which has three elements, Arrange the letters a-/ in a 3%3 array alphabetically: 216 ‘Solutions to the ARML Power Question = 2002 Using columns and rows but not diagonals, this arrangement yields cliques abe, def, ghi ade, beh, eft. Now «and ¢ aso share a clique, so we need to start building a second array with ae as part ofa row. To avoid duplicating the abe clique, we arrange b and e along the main diagonal, and similarly, d and g outside any row or column with a. By A1,b cannot bein the same row or column as ¢ since we already have a elique ‘with be in the first array. In the array below these restrictions place h in the lower right hand corner. ale eld gb [Now the choices for the other three spots are severely restricted: by axiom A, the upper-right comer cannot be f(already in def) or h (already in beh) so it must be i. The lower-left comer must be fand the middle left must be hi ef] hlie|d g "Notice thatthe four cliques containing a exhaust all other members of S, so we're done. Thus, a collection of cliques satisfying AL-A3 is {abe, def. ghi, ag, beh. fi, ae, hed, fb, af. ecg, id.

The same process appli to shows that [DI <|cl. so [c]= [>]. creennicaly, we've used one-to-one functions to map Cito Dan thew 2 into C, which, in the case of infinite cliques would require the SchrOder-Bernstein theorem to infer that Icl= lob We use the same bb) Let the students in clique Cbe a cy.c),--. and the students in fique D be ad. dy 7 construction asin 3a, beginning with the elique cd and choosing cliques containing. cy, ¢,..- each exclusive of ed.

Notice that by construction D is not exclusive of C, Now by A2, foreach s D, there isa clique C, that contains sand is exclusive of clique C. Well show that the cliques C, actually form a complete collection of al ie cliques in [C]. If there were a clique C” in [C]. then C’ must intersect D.

That means that evry C” iC] intersects with D for one value sit cant intersect in two or more values by Al. Moreover, by A2, its true that each s in D but not in C is a member of only one clique that docs not intersect C.
