Let $G$ be a group of order $n$ and $d$ a positive divisor of $n$. Is it true that there exists a subgroup of $G$ with order $d$ **or** $n/d$? Of course this does not hold in full generality. -- In particular one quickly finds that e.g. ${\rm PSL}(2,8)$, ${\rm PSL}(2,11)$, ${\rm PSL}(2,13)$, ${\rm SL}(2,11)$, ${\rm SL}(2,13)$, ${\rm PSL}(2,17)$, ${\rm A}_7$, ${\rm PSL}(2,19)$, ${\rm A}_5 \times {\rm A}_5$, etc. are counterexamples. Though does the assertion hold for - solvable groups? - solvable groups with derived length less than a certain bound $> 2$? - groups whose order has at most 2 distinct prime divisors? A quick computation with [GAP][1] shows that any counterexample must have order $\geq 192$. [1]: http://www.gap-system.org
