Description
### What is the conjecture
https://www.erdosproblems.com/543
Define $f(N)$ be the minimal $k$ such that the following holds: if $G$ is an abelian group of size $N$ and $A\subseteq G$ is a random set of size $k$ then, with probability $\geq 1/2$, all elements of $G$ can be written as $\sum_{x\in S}x$ for some $S\subseteq A$. Is
$$f(N) \leq \log_2 N+o(\log\log N)?$$
Status: open
