A Steiner pentagon system of order v (SPS(v)) is said to be super-simple if its underlying (v, 5, 2)-BIBD is super-simple; that is, any two blocks of the BIBD intersect in at most two points. It is well known that the existence of a holey Steiner pentagon system (HSPS) of type T implies the existence of a (5, 2)-GDD of type T. We shall call an HSPS of type T super-simple if its underlying (5, 2)-GDD of type T is super-simple; that is, any two blocks of the GDD intersect in at most two points. The existence of HSPSs of uniform type h n has previously been investigated by the authors and others. In this article, we focus our attention on the existence of super-simple HSPSs of uniform type h n .
