  15. I am looking for references or direction in solving the following
  16. problem:
  17.  
  18. Given a set of prime numbers, whose largest element is less than
  19. 1 million. Generate a set of these primes such that NO sum or
  20. difference between any two of these primes is equal to any other
  21. sum or difference between any other combination of these primes.
  22.  
  23. Is there such a set?
  24.  
  25. I'd appreciate any comments regarding this.
