Erdős–Oler-type conjecture for triangular numbers

Let n>3n>3 be a triangular number, and consider the smallest triangle containing nn disks and the smallest triangle containing n1n-1 disks. Erdős–Oler-type conjecture. The smallest triangle containing nn disks is the same as that containing n1n-1 disks. This is presented as a new version of the long-standing Erdős–Oler conjecture. The claim is not established in the source and remains open.
