Some Thoughts MORE ABOUT STAPLED INTERVALS | Comment 3 of 5 |

Very good problem- I rated it 5.

I believe the source is Sloane A090318 A130170  A130173

An interval is stapled if for every element x there is another element y (different from x) such that gcd(x,y)>1.

The shortest stapled interval has length 17 and starts with the number 2184.
