What it changes

Problem #396 belongs to number theory and concerns binomial coefficients (the numbers of ways of choosing elements from a set). If this computation held, it would give numerical support to the study of the problem.

What remains unclear

The wiki gives only the type of computation, “OEIS sequence” (OEIS: an online database of integer sequences); the sources read do not say what was computed, or whether anyone has checked it. A verification published after the wiki's freeze would not appear there.

Method

Source: the “AI contributions to Erdős problems” wiki of the teorth/erdosproblems repository (a repository presented by Terence Tao in his blog post of August 31, 2025); frozen on June 30, 2026 (commit c8ad430, “freeze”) and read on October 12, 2026 in the git repository. Category 2(d), “Computation” (secondary contribution). Humans named by the wiki: none; AI systems: Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Deep Think, GPT-5.4 Pro. Dates given by the wiki: “23 Mar-4 Apr, 2026”. Computation given by the wiki: “OEIS sequence”. Literature cited by the wiki: none. Status of the problem in the teorth/erdosproblems community database (data/problems.yaml, unofficial classification, snapshot of October 12, 2026 with no commit identified, current state, not that of June 2026): open (informal_status=open); no formalised solution known (formal_status=unformalized). This status concerns the problem, not this contribution. Problem page not read by DiscoverIA: https://www.erdosproblems.com/396.
