Abstract

This note presents an upper bound of 1.252n1.252 n on the size of a set system that satisfies the mod-6 town rules. Under these rules the sizes of the sets are not congruent to 0mod60\bmod 6 while the sizes of all pairwise intersections are congruent to 0mod6 0\bmod 6.

Bug. Lemma 1 is incorrect. The lemma needs the sets to be closed under subtraction which they are not
