-A strict version is an affine plane. Example 25 people in 5 tables of 5, Point set is $Z_5 x Z_5$, we take the tables to be the lines $L(a,b)={(x,y)| y=ax+b} and L(a)={(a,y)| y in Z_5}$, the sitting is a parallel class (the 5 lines with the same slope a), so we have 6 sittings, L(a,b) for a=0,1,2,3,4 and then the parallel class of L(a).

-More generally we want a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_design#Resolvable_2-designs|resolvable 2-design]]. We want resolvable (v,k,1) designs. Resolvable is the parallelism. Maybe there is something like discrete hyperbolic geometry to deal with this, but we seem to have better combinatorial ideas below.

-Versions include [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkman%27s_schoolgirl_problem|Kirkman's Schoolgirl Problem]] (15 children walk in groups of 3, can they do this so that all pairs of girls walk together exactly once over a whole week) {[[https://oeis.org/search?q=schoolgirl&sort=&language=german&go=Suche|oeis]]}. This is the question as to resolvable (v,3,1) 2-designs, which if I understand it, exist iff v = 3 mod 6.
