Smallest set of nonzero vectors in $\mathbb F_2^n$ which intersects every 2-dimensional subspace
What is the smallest set of nonzero vectors in $\mathbb F_2^n$ which intersects every 2-dimensional subspace?
For example, for n = 3, the set {001, 010, 011} does the job, and is minimal. For n = 4, {...
