Erdős Problem #2 — Covering systems with arbitrarily large minimum modulus
A system of congruences
is called a covering system if every integer satisfies at least one of the congruences in (3). The simplest covering system is , , , , . The main problem is: Is it true that for every one can find a covering system all whose moduli are larger than ? I offer 1000 dollars for a proof or disproof.
