The comb. structure is a MINIMAL edge coloring of K_n, the complete graph, with the following properties:

        2. Our coloring splits the set of edges of K_n into color classes; we require that every class has at least two members.
        3. The coloring is minimal by inclusion. That is, if we delete any subset of vertices of K_n (and any adjacent edges), then property 2 is violated - there will be at least one color class with one member.
