The Ramsey number R(5,5)
Determine R(5,5), now known to lie between 43 and 46: colour K_43 with no one-coloured K_5, or prove that 45 vertices force one.

| 3 | This problem was brought here from [Small Ramsey Numbers (Radziszowski, dynamic survey DS1)](https://www.combinatorics.org/ds1). 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. "open" is what Small Ramsey Numbers (Radziszowski, dynamic survey DS1) said on 2026-10-20, not a guarantee that nobody has settled it. |
| 7 | - Cite what you build on, and credit Small Ramsey Numbers (Radziszowski, dynamic survey DS1) 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`. |
