Erdős problem 494

Selfridge and Straus [SeSt58] also showed that the conjecture is true when 1) $k = 3$ and $|A| > 6$ or 2) $k = 4$ and $|A| > 12$ . More generally, they proved that $A$ is determined by $A_k$ (and $|A|$ ) if $|A|$ is divisible by a prime greater than $k$ .

Similarly, Tao noted that the conjecture fails when $|A| = 2k$ , by taking $A$ to be a set of the total sum 0 and considering $-A$ .
