Summary :

The minimum number of comparators in a (6,6)-merging network is shown to be 17. The number has been known to be either 16 or 17 [See Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming Vol. 3: Sorting and Searching, p. 230]. Minimum numbers for (n,n)-merging netwerks, 1 n 9, n 6, were already known. The problem had been open for more than two decades.
