Andersen's rainbow path conjecture

From papers

Let KnK_n be the complete graph on nn vertices, and let a proper edge-colouring be an edge-colouring in which edges of the same colour do not meet. A rainbow path is a path whose edges have pairwise distinct colours, and its length is its number of edges. Andersen's conjecture. Every proper edge-colouring of KnK_n has a rainbow path with length n2n-2. The bound is best possible for powers of 22, but the conjecture is not stated as resolved in the paper.
