Let $f(n)$ be maximal such that if $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$ has $|A| = n$ then $\prod_{a\neq b\in A}(a + b)$ has at least $f(n)$ distinct prime factors. Is it true that $\frac{f(n)}{\log n} \to\infty$?
Erdős and Turán proved [ErTu34] in their first joint paper that $$ \log n \ll f(n) \ll \frac{n}{\log n} $$

Erdős says that $f(n) = o(\frac{n}{\log n})$ has never been proved.
