Erdős problem 494

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

Kruyt noted that the conjecture fails when ∣A∣=k|A| = k, by rotating AA around an appropriate point.
