Erdős problem 853

Let dn=pn+1−pnd_n = p_{n+1} - p_n, where pnp_n is the nnth prime. Let r(x)r(x) be the smallest even integer tt such that dn=td_n = t has no solutions for n≤xn \le x.

Let dn=pn+1−pnd_n = p_{n+1} - p_n, where pnp_n is the nnth prime. Let r(x)r(x) be the smallest even integer tt such that dn=td_n = t has no solutions for n≤xn \le x.

Is it true that r(x)/log⁡x→∞r(x) / \log x \to \infty?
