Erdős Problem #1113 — A positive odd integer mm such that none of 2km+12^km+1 are prime for k≥0k\geq 0 is called a Sierpinski number.

A positive odd integer mm such that none of 2km+12^km+1 are prime for k≥0k\geq 0 is called a Sierpinski number. We say that a set of primes PP is a covering set for mm if every 2km+12^km+1 is divisible by some p∈Pp\in P. Are there Sierpinski numbers with no finite covering set of primes?
