Ramsey number of the paw graph

 0  0
Paw graph
The paw graph H has R(H)=7. A colouring of K6​ with two disjoint red triangles and all cross-edges blue avoids a monochromatic paw. In K7​, a monochromatic triangle exists; avoiding a paw forces all its edges to the other four vertices into the opposite colour, which then forces those four internal edges into the triangle's colour and creates a paw.
