 Kirkman often complained about the fact that his substantial paper was totally eclipsed by the popular interest in the schoolgirl problem.In 1910 the problem was addressed using Galois geometry by George Conwell.The Galois field GF(2) with two elements is used with four homogeneous coordinates to form PG(3,2) which has 15 points, 3 points to a line, 7 points and 7 lines in a plane.
