The collection of all subsets of cardinality k of a set with v elements (k < v) has the property that any subset of t elements, with 0 ≤ t ≤ k, is contained in precisely v−t k−t subsets of size k. The subsets of size k provide therefore a nice covering for the subsets of a lesser cardinality. Observe that the number of subse...
