Hi John. You can find a visual construction of a solution to Kirkman’s fifteen schoolgirl problem in the paper
“Kirkman’s Tetrahedron and the Fifteen Schoolgirl Problem”, The American Mathematical Monthly, 118:10, 887-900.

Cool, thanks!
Hi,
do the mathematics of simple graphs and equivalence classes fall into the category of advanced topics in mathematics? I am guessing maybe so here is a link to “About Fifty”

Thanks for having a look. I enjoy your math tweets.
I’d say equivalence classes are things all math majors should learn about as undergrads, while simple graphs are something they’d learn about if they were interested in discrete math.
Why does the AMS list this Blog as “retired”? Is it restricted to retired mathematicians?
No, it’s because I’ve stopped posting new articles. Perhaps when I retire I’ll start writing them again.
