Let $C > 0$. Is it true that the set of integers of the form $n = b_1 + \cdots + b_t$, with $b_1 < \cdots < b_t$, where $b_i = 2^{k_i}3^{l_i}$ for $1 \leq i\leq t$ and $b_t \leq Cb_1$ has density $0$?

van Doorn and Everts [vDEv25] have disproved this with $C=6$ - in fact, they prove that all integers can be written as such a sum in which $b_t<6b_1$.

This was formalized in Lean by Alexeev using Aristotle.
