2Authored explanation
Egan and Wanless publish three order-10 Latin squares \(A,B,C\) in their Section 8 and on Wanless's companion-data page. The public file uses letters `a` through `j` for symbols 0 through 9 and has SHA-256 digest `04db7b4b17a2321b754b694b6b3f894dd5181808a4580dbd6b3a42587dfb488a`.
The executable replay checks every row and column of all three squares. It then checks all 100 cells in each overlay. The \((A,B)\) and \((A,C)\) overlays each contain all 100 ordered symbol pairs. The \((B,C)\) overlay contains 91 distinct pairs. Its nine repeated pairs are `bi`, `cj`, `dh`, `ei`, `fj`, `gh`, `hi`, `ij`, and `jh`, each occurring twice. Its nine missing pairs are `bj`, `ch`, `di`, `ej`, `fh`, `gi`, `hj`, `ih`, and `ji`.
Thus the file supplies two explicit 2 MOLS(10) witnesses sharing \(A\). The collisions in the third overlay keep it outside the acceptance condition for a triple.
