Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.
Determine the largest fraction of triples on n points with no 4-set covered by all its triples; Turán conjectured 5/9.

Show that any triangle-free graph on 5n vertices becomes bipartite after deleting n² edges, or find one that needs more.
Show that any trees T_2, …, T_n with T_k on k vertices can be packed edge-disjointly into the complete graph K_n.
Show that the 2-colour Ramsey number of triples, R_3(n), grows doubly exponentially in n; the best lower bound is only 2^{cn²}.

Determine the largest r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with no k disjoint edges; Erdős conjectured one of two simple families wins.
Show that graphs avoiding a fixed induced subgraph H always contain a clique or independent set of size n^{c(H)}.
Show that every finite graph with minimum degree 3 has a cycle of length 4, 8, 16 or another power of two, or find a counterexample.

Decide whether 6 or 7 colours are needed to colour the plane so that points at distance 1 always get different colours.
Show that a subgraph of the n-cube with no 4-cycle has at most about half of the cube's edges; the best bound is 0.60318.

Decide whether every bipartite graph G has ex(n;G) ~ c·n^α for some α in [1,2), and whether α must be rational.
