Old and new problems and results in combinatorial number theory by Erdős & Graham (Page 15):

How small can MM be made? The only estimate currently known is that M10000000M \le 10000000 (more or less). In the other direction, it has just been shown by R. Juhász [Ju (79)] that we must have M5M \ge 5.
