Erdős problem 769

For the least cutoff c(n)c(n) after which every kk occurs as the number of homothetic cubes in a decomposition of the unit nn-cube, is c(n)nnc(n) \gg n^n? The Lean proof shows c(n)=o(nn)c(n) = o(n^n) along odd dimensions.

What refuting c(n)nnc(n)\gg n^n leaves open: give good bounds for c(n)c(n). Asked here on the scale the problem itself sets, nnn^n: does cc have a well-defined order limnlogc(n)nlogn?\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\log c(n)}{n\log n}? The refuted conjecture would have forced this limit to be at least 11.
