Authored summary

An exact C++ replay enumerates all 190,899,322 partitions of fourteen columns, finds maximum \(81/224\), and recovers all 3,920 reported attaining partitions.

Executable material is recorded. Successful replay is a separate check.

2Authored explanation

The program encodes the published balanced \(8\times14\) matrix as fourteen-bit row masks and checks that each row has seven 1s and each column has four. It enumerates unlabeled set partitions exactly once through restricted-growth strings. For a partition \(P\) with \(C\) classes, it enumerates all \(2^C\) binary class colorings \(v\), takes the largest of the eight exact row intersections, and computes \[ V(M;P)=\frac{1}{14\cdot2^C}\sum_v\max_r r\mathbin{\cdot}v. \] Comparing these fractions across \(1\le C\le14\) gives the matrix-game maximum. The run evaluates 20,732,504,062 partition-coloring pairs.

The class counts sum to the Bell number \[ B_{14}=190{,}899{,}322. \] The global maximum is \(81/224\). It occurs for 2,016 four-class partitions, 560 five-class partitions, and 1,344 six-class partitions, totaling 3,920. No other class count attains the maximum. Both the endpoint and the total match the published report. The program also checks the four-class witness from the separate Python replay and obtains numerator 81.

This certificate covers the finite optimization for the displayed hint matrix. The implication \(p^*\le V(M)\) still uses the matrix-hint reduction proved by Buhler and coauthors. The computation does not close the remaining gap between \(7/20\) and \(81/224\).
