Stinson's strong starter conjecture for cyclic groups

About 2 years old · traced to

Let n≥5n\geq 5 be an odd integer. A strong starter in the cyclic group Zn\mathbb{Z}_n is a starter satisfying the additional distinct nonzero pair-sum condition defined in the paper. Stinson's conjecture. There exists a strong starter in Zn\mathbb{Z}_n if and only if n≠5,9n\neq 5,9. The cases n=5n=5 and n=9n=9 are known exceptions, while existence was proved for every odd n≠9n\neq 9 with 7≤n≤997\leq n\leq 99; the general cyclic case remains open.
