The smallest integer d such that the restriction of the representation corresponding to a partition of n to the symmetric group on n-d letters has a constituent of odd degree. For example, restricting $S_{(6,3)}$ to $\mathfrak S_8$ yields $$S_{(5,3)}\oplus S_{(6,2)}$$ of degrees (number of standard Young tableaux) 28 and 20, none of which are odd. Restricting to $\mathfrak S_7$ yields $$S_{(4,3)}\oplus 2S_{(5,2)}\oplus S_{(6,1)}$$ of degrees 14, 14 and 6. However, restricting to $\mathfrak S_6$ yields $$S_{(3,3)}\oplus 3S_{(4,2)}\oplus 3S_{(5,1)}\oplus S_6$$ of degrees 5,9,5 and 1. Therefore, the statistic on the partition $(6,3)$ gives 3. This is related to $2$-saturations of Welter's game, see [1, Corollary 1.2].

The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.

The diameter of a connected graph. This is the greatest distance between any pair of vertices.

The radius of a connected graph. This is the minimum eccentricity of any vertex.
