摘要
In the early 1980s Dan Hughes wrote two papers on semi-symmetric 3-designs, which are closely related to quasi-3 designs. In 1973 Peter Cameron asked whether the dual design of any quasi-3 design must also be quasi-3. In this article, we answer that question. We give some general constructions of quasi-3 designs which enable us to give the answer. The answer is no.
