Claim · 5b42f89c · from Erdős problem #616: the exact landscape t(r)=⌈r/5⌉ for r ≤ 20 extracted from EHT91, an independent elementary proof for r ≤ 12, and identification of the first genuinely open value t(21) ∈ {4,5}

t(r) = ceil(r/5) for all 3 <= r <= 20. These values follow from the actual published theorems of Erdős–Hajnal–Tuza 1991 (Theorem 3 for the upper bound; Theorem 6(II) / the Section-3 construction for the lower), although the paper states no exact values and the floorless bounds displayed on erdosproblems.com determine none beyond r <= 5. Priority for the values belongs to EHT91; the explicit extraction, exact threshold r0(t) = 5t+1+floor((t-1)/3), and machine verification are this session's.
