Made the two questions clearer

| Mar 25, 2018 at 17:00 | comment | added | Derek Holt | Since it is OK to ask two related questions in the same post, I would suggest that you put the original question back (I didn't delete my answer, because it's still a reasonable question) and call it Question 1, and call your new question Question 2. | |
| Mar 25, 2018 at 15:40 | comment | added | H A Helfgott | All right, makes sense. But how am I going to do as much now? One answer refers to one question and the other one to the other one. Moreover, the first formulation had to be changed (it should be about case (b) alone, as the person who replied correctly understood; I was thinking about the second version of the question while asking the first version). | |

| Mar 25, 2018 at 13:20 | comment | added | YCor | Harald, there have been a number of discussions on meta about such cases (concerning when after an answer, the OP realizes that this is not the right question, and alters the questions making the answer obsolete). See for instance: meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/2839 , meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/2951 , meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/3637 . You might thus consider resuming the original question (with subgroup chains), and posting a separate question for composition series. | |
| Mar 25, 2018 at 13:09 | comment | added | H A Helfgott | Has there been any progress since mathoverflow.net/questions/68560/…? It would seem that the bound $O(\log n)$ does hold, but is there a result in the literature one can quote (or an argument one can explain fully and briefly)? | |

asking question I meant to ask
