Is the following statement consistent: >``**There is no non-trivial c.c.c forcing notion adding a minimal generic real**''? The question is related to Prikry's question: Is it consistent that any non-trivial c.c.c forcing notion adds a Cohen real or a Random real? See also [https://mathoverflow.net/questions/149316/a-special-c-c-c-forcing-notion-and-adding-minimal-generic-reals](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/149316/a-special-c-c-c-forcing-notion-and-adding-minimal-generic-reals) where it is shown that the answer to the above question is no, if we assume $CH$ or $MA+\neg CH$ (this follows from the results of Judah-Shelah in [Forcing Minimal Degree of Constructibility](http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.jsl/1183743725)) Also it is clear that, a model for Prikry's question is also a model for the above mentioned question. **Remark.** By a theorem of Shelah, a modified version of Prikry’s conjecture holds in the context of Souslin c.c.c forcing: i.e. every Souslin c.c.c forcing either adds a Cohen real or is a Maharam algebra. Indeed, Shelah showed that any Souslin c.c.c forcing which is not $ω^ω$-bounding adds a Cohen real. See S. Shelah, How special are Cohen and random forcing.
