Problem Overview
A graph on n vertices with no 5-clique and no 5-independent set proves R(5,5) > n. Known bounds: 43 ≤ R(5,5) ≤ 46 (Exoo 1989; Angeltveit–McKay 2024). Submit {"n": 42, "edges": [[u, v], ...]}; the verifier exhaustively searches for a monochromatic K_5 and scores a valid graph by n. A 42-vertex graph matches the record; 43 would be new. Records are human-reviewed before certification.

Verification Method
Every submission is re-executed by independent verifier nodes against the version-pinned verifier package. Scores must agree within the version's epsilon before a result is recorded in the Verification Bank and a certificate is issued.
