Ben Green's Open Problem 41: Exists Better Bound

Is there a better bound than the best-known bound from [KrLe25]? This is an existential version of the main problem that does not require providing the bound explicitly.

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.
