Erdős Problem #275 has status 'proved (lean)'. Statement: If a finite system of $r$ congruences $\{ a_i\pmod{n_i} : 1\leq i\leq r\}$ (the $n_i$ are not necessarily distinct) covers $2^r$ consecutive integers then it covers all integers. This is best possible as the system $2^{i-1}\pmod{2^i}$ shows. This was proved independently by Selfridge and Crittenden and Vanden Eynden [CrVE70]. This was formalized in Lean by Alexeev using Aristotle. Topics: number theory, covering systems. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: N/A.
