Transversal conjecture for Latin hypercubes of odd order or dimension

Let M(d,n)M(d,n) denote the set of Latin hypercubes of dimension dd and order nn. A transversal is a set of nn entries containing each value in every coordinate position and each symbol exactly once. Transversal conjecture. If nn is odd or dd is odd and H∈M(d,n)H\in M(d,n), then HH has transversals. The conjecture contrasts with the theorem that no transversals exist in Znd\mathbb{Z}_n^d when both nn and dd are even; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
