Examples
For n = 10, k = 4, the unique arrangement with 5 lines (up to symmetry) is 1111000000 1000111000 0100100110 0010010101 0001001011 There are no such arrangements with 6 lines. Thus T(10,4) = 5. These lines are in bijection with the sets of 4 polar axes on a dodecahedron whose endpoints form a cube.
