2Authored explanation

Let \[ S_*=\{1,15,18,22,27\}. \] Exact enumeration gives \[ \max_{|S|=5}\tau(G_S)= 2708274425686971438523646018073797918175286202944373217379948692092215150697249050994964490229261. \] Multiplication by 4 modulo 101, followed by replacing residues above 50 with their negatives, sends \(S_*\) to \[ \{4,7,13,29,41\}. \] Thus the sampled incumbent in the candidate record already attained the maximum.

The group \((\mathbf Z/101\mathbf Z)^\times/\{\pm1\}\) has order 50 and acts on the five-element step sets. The \(\binom{50}{5}=2{,}118{,}760\) sets split into 42,376 orbits: 42,375 orbits of size 50 and one orbit of size 10. The exact search finds one maximizing orbit. The next orbit is represented by \(\{7,15,16,18,28\}\), with tree count \[ 2705790677807473137809613684625587492780256938436447544415672932035143210140285775448737562551029. \] Every step is nonzero modulo the prime 101, so each graph in the search is connected.
