Order 3 = 3

0 / 1 paper-excluded 0 / 1 Lean-excluded odd candidate

Why a candidate

Order 3 = 3 is a candidate because it divides the following Theorem 6 maxima: 39, 135, 147, 171, 375.

From the paper (Macaj–Siran 2010)

MP 2001 Lemma 3 cases (2) / (5) for p = 3 give Fix(ℤ₃) ∈ {singleton, Petersen}; Lemma 12 row p = 3, a₀(x) = 1 is starred and excluded, so the Petersen-Fix branch is the live one (Lemma 4 case 5 / Lemma 16 case 2). Lemma 17 then bounds any 3-group: |X| ∣ 27 (Petersen-Fix) or |X| ∣ 81 (singleton-Fix). No direct exclusion at order 3 — the single group ℤ₃ is paper-allowed.
