(166, 166+43, 230779)-Net in Base 3 — Upper bound on s

There is no (166, 209, 230780)-net in base 3, because

1 times m-reduction [i] would yield (166, 208, 230780)-net in base 3, but
- the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 3^mÂ â‰¥ 1742 840402 263720 889165 934982 521194 220241 576365 137555 807903 797863 772446 846221 192229 446961 469806 589401 > 3²⁰⁸ [i]
