Retained formal statement5 of 6

Every triangle-free graph on 2525 vertices can be made bipartite by removing at most 2525 edges.

This is the n=5n = 5 case of Erdős Problem 23. It follows from the high-density range of Balogh-Clemen-Lidicky together with McKay's complete catalogue of the 23-vertex extremal graphs for bipartization of triangle-free graphs.
