For $p$ prime and $0<\epsilon<1$, let $k(\epsilon,p)$ be the minimal integer $k$ such that for any set $X$ of $k$ distinct rationals in $[0,1)$ with the same denominator $p$, there exists an $\epsilon$-dense dilation $nX \mod 1$. 
How does $k(\epsilon,p)$ grow when $\epsilon$ decreases? The best bounds known [1] are 
$\frac{c}{\epsilon}  \log (1/\epsilon) \log \log \log(1/\epsilon) \le k(\epsilon,p) \le \frac{C}{\epsilon^2} $.
