The authors use a geometric technique to prove a coding theoretic result. Specifically, they prove that there does not exist a system of 12 lines in \(PG(8,2)\) with the property that no hyperplane contains more than 5 of the lines. Equivalently, it follows that there does not exist an additive quaternary code of length 12 with cardinality \(2^9\) and minimum distance 7.
