Determine whether the 28-vertex K4-free-complement problem is computationally feasible
Determine whether the enumeration-based method using exact unions of two sphere triangulations and SAT certification is feasible for finding a biplanar graph on 28 vertices with $K_4$-free complement.

Gethner and Sulanke~\citep[Open Problem~1(b)]{gethnersulanke2009} ask more generally for a biplanar graph on 28 vertices with $K_4$ free complement. The method of this note transfers to that question in principle, since neither the enlargement nor the exact-union encoding depends on the order, but the enumeration would be far larger, and we do not know whether it is feasible.
