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.
