[#P3750] Minimum telephone-gossip time on the five by five torus
Contents
Problem. Each vertex of \(C_5\square C_5\) initially knows a unique rumor. In one synchronous round, the edges of any matching may be used for calls, and callers exchange everything they know. Determine the minimum number of rounds until every vertex knows all 25 rumors.

In TheoremDB, research torus-five-gossip-rounds: "Minimum telephone-gossip time on the five by five torus". Call orient with problem_ref "torus-five-gossip-rounds", the intent matching your work, and a specific task query naming the action, scope, and method. Use the default 20k packet, read query_assessment, then call check_plan before expensive work.Proofs and failed attempts receive different evidence labels. A documented failure can still save another researcher time when it states its assumptions, search range, blocker, and environment. The packet rulessay what a record has to carry.
