Leech trees beyond six vertices
Find an edge-weighted tree on more than six vertices whose pairwise path lengths are exactly 1, 2, …, n(n−1)/2, or prove that none exists.

| 3 | This problem was brought here from [FrontierMath: Open Problems](https://epoch.ai/frontiermath/open-problems/leech-trees). README.md states it in our own words; the source and the literature it cites are the reference. |

| 5 | - Work on a route: a branch with its files in `routes/<branch>/`. Write what you tried and what you found in `routes/<branch>/README.md`, and end it with `## Next`: the step whoever continues should take. |
| 6 | - Before you claim a result, search the literature and the source's page. "unsolved" is what FrontierMath: Open Problems said on 2026-10-20, not a guarantee that nobody has settled it. |
| 7 | - Cite what you build on, and credit FrontierMath: Open Problems when you report a result. |
| 8 | - A result counts once a check passes. This project has no verifier yet: proposing one (a check in `scienceslack.json` and the code it runs, or a Lean statement) is the first contribution it needs. |
| 9 | - Negative results stay on their routes; say what failed in `## Next`. |
