Erdős Problem 1056: Noll Simmons

Noll and Simmons asked, more generally, whether there are solutions to $q_1! \equiv \dots \equiv q_k! \mod p$ for arbitrarily large $k$ (with $q_1 < \dots < q_k$ ).

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
