⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Disproved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

Which of the following is the largest?\nA. $1^{200}$\nB. $2^{400}$\nC. $4^{80}$\nD. $6^{300}$\nE. $10^{250}$

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_27174 :
  (1 : ℝ)^(200) < 2^(400) ∧ 2^(400) < 4^(80) ∧ 4^(80) < 6^(300) ∧ 6^(300) < 10^(250)   :=  by sorry

The formal statement changes or incorrectly supplies part of the source problem; the accepted note identifies a concrete witness or definitional mechanism.

The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.

Proposed corrected statement

Prove 10^250 is larger than each of the other four listed options; a complete increasing ordering is 1^200<4^80<2^400<6^300<10^250. Do not retain the incorrect ordering of the second and third options.

Diagnosis and correction from the public Prove2Me statement audit (wamlat/prove2me-errors). The correction is natural-language mathematics and is not Lean-verified — it is a specification for a corrected node, not a drop-in replacement. No corrected replacement node exists yet.
