    RE: mstdn.social/@QuantaMagazine/1

    Graham’s conjecture (1971): Modulo some prime p, can you find a way to order any subset of {1,...,p-1} so that its successive partial sums are all distinct?

    Since an initial breakthrough in 2022, three groups of young mathematicians have proved* this for different regimes: large subsets (as a fraction of p), small subsets, and finally those of intermediate size, covering all cases.

    *Like many results in combinatorics, the proofs only hold for sufficiently large p.
