Smoke squares
This is maybe of some interest beyond P5P...
where I posted a short plan about
improving smoke coverage with graeco-latin squares.
By the way, thanks to everyone who expressed support for the P5P summaries. I promise that one I get more time & tuits, I'll begin to write them again.

I first learned about them in literature (Score:2, Interesting)
Georges Perec used and order 10 graeco-latin square for the powerful set of constraints at work in La vie mode d'emploi [amazon.fr] ( Life a user's manual [amazon.com] ).
But I thought that graeco-latin squares did not exist for every value of n? After a little digging around with Google, I found that graeco-latin squares do not exist for n=3k.

AFAIK there are graeco-latin squares for every n>2, n!=6. See the links provided in my mail. -- The real challenge is actually to figure out a good combination of configuration options.
