Erdős Problem #2 — Covering systems with arbitrarily large minimum modulus

Erdős

Let ai(modni)a_i \pmod{n_i}, with n1<n2<<nkn_1<n_2<\cdots<n_k, be a finite system of congruences. Call it a covering system if every integer satisfies at least one of the congruences. Is it true that, for every cc, there exists a covering system whose moduli all exceed cc, equivalently, with n1>cn_1>c?
