The converse Latin-quandle conjecture for the quandle polynomial

Let QQ be a finite quandle, and let qpQ(s,t)qp_Q(s,t) denote its quandle polynomial. A quandle is Latin when its operation is left-invertible, in addition to the right-invertibility required by the quandle axioms. Latin-quandle conjecture. Every quandle QQ with

qpQ(s,t)=Qstqp_Q(s,t)=|Q|st

is Latin. Direct computations show that the converse of the preceding proposition has no counterexamples with cardinality less than 77; the assertion is otherwise presented as an unproved converse.
