COMMENTS
| The problem is to find the largest number of rounds of golf that can be arranged with n*k golfers who play in n groups of k. No golfer may play in the same group as any other golfer twice (i.e. maximum socialisation is achieved).
T(6,6) cannot be 4 since this would be equivalent to a pair of mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order 6.
T(n,k) = 1 for values of n and k outside this range.
