Understanding the problem

Read the background

For every positive n and 1 ≤ k ≤ n!, a group has n distinct elements whose n! ordered products take exactly k distinct values.

Why it matters

A central-extension construction settles every intermediate count in Kourovka Problem 18.50.

What counts as progress

A specific group theory result with documented AI mathematical work, a stated prior baseline and a checkable source.
