(160, 160+37, 592117)-Net in Base 3 — Upper bound on s

There is no (160, 197, 592118)-net in base 3, because

1 times m-reduction [i] would yield (160, 196, 592118)-net in base 3, but
- the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 3^mÂ â‰¥ 3279 281349 465572 135820 556104 394543 391007 149637 695974 827709 122263 860330 063390 058215 212482 417325 > 3¹⁹⁶ [i]
