AHSME 1967 Problem 38

    Given a set SS consisting of two undefined elements "pib" and "maa", and the four postulates: P1P_1: Every pib is a collection of maas, P2P_2: Any two distinct pibs have one and only one maa in common, P3P_3: Every maa belongs to two and only two pibs, P4P_4: There are exactly four pibs. Consider the three theorems: T1T_1: There are exactly six maas, T2T_2: There are exactly three maas in each pib, T3T_3: For each maa there is exactly one other maa not in the same pid with it. The theorems which are deducible from the postulates are: (A) T3only(B) T2andT3only(C) T1andT2only(D) T1andT3only(E) all\textbf{(A)}\ T_3 \text{only} \textbf{(B)}\ T_2 \text{and} T_3 \text{only} \textbf{(C)}\ T_1 \text{and} T_2 \text{only}\\ \textbf{(D)}\ T_1 \text{and} T_3 \text{only} \textbf{(E)}\ \text{all}
