There is a section that uses the same type of thinking that you can use to prove the R(3, 3) = 6 case (often known as the Theorem of Friends and Strangers [0]), towards the end of the paper [1] (though in a pretty different way). Proving th

The most annoying thing about the titles is that it was changed (against Hacker News guidelines) specifically to insert that, giving the whole thing a clickbaity edge. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
