Corollary 5 says: a planar graph with VV vertices has E≤3V−6E \le 3V - 6. Which of the hypotheses are genuinely needed, in the sense that dropping one of them gives a counterexample? (Select all that apply.)

Choose all that apply

The proof that every red–blue colouring of K6K_6 has a monochromatic triangle starts: "a vertex vv has five edges, so three of them share a colour". If we try the same proof on K5K_5, where does it break down?

The Erdős–Szekeres bound says R(s,t)≤(s+t−2s−1)R(s, t) \le \binom{s + t - 2}{s - 1}. What upper bound does it give for R(4,4)R(4, 4)?

Edges of K6K_6 are unordered pairs s(a, b) : Sym2 (Fin 6), and a red–blue colouring is a function c : Sym2 (Fin 6) → Bool. Which Lean statement says that every colouring has a monochromatic triangle?

A bipartite graph is given as a list adj, where adj[i] is the set of neighbours (in BB) of vertex ii of AA. Write hall_violator(adj) that returns a smallest set S⊆AS \subseteq A, as a sorted tuple of indices, with ∣N(S)∣<∣S∣|N(S)| < |S|, or None if Hall's condition holds (so that, by Hall's theorem, a matching covering AA exists).
