Example

From Georg Muntingh, Feb 03 2014: (Start)
The projective plane over a finite field of order 2 has 7 points and 7 lines, for instance meeting with the incidence matrix
    [1 0 0 1 1 0 0]
    [0 1 1 0 1 0 0]
    [1 0 1 0 0 1 0]
    [0 1 0 1 0 1 0]
    [0 0 1 1 0 0 1]
    [1 1 0 0 0 0 1]
    [0 0 0 0 1 1 1]
which has permanent 24.  (End)
