Erdős problem #608

The sources identify Erdős problem #608\#608 as an extremal problem involving a claimed threshold of 2/92/9, but do not provide the underlying objects or define the extremal quantity precisely. The problem therefore cannot be stated more precisely from the supplied sources.

Progress summary

Partially solved

A formal check rules out one proposed construction, but does not solve the broader problem.

The broader Erdős problem remains open; the latest result concerns only a proposed construction.

August 2026 formal refutation

A formal development shows that the named construction falls below the claimed threshold 2/92/9, eliminating that route to the extremal bound. It does not settle Erdős problem #608\#608.

Current status (as of August 2026): One proposed construction has been formally ruled out because it falls below 2/92/9; Erdős problem #608\#608 remains open.
