Problem Statement

An infinite set SS of positive numbers is called thick, if in every interval of the form [1/(n+1),1/n]\left [1/(n+1),1/n\right] (where nn is an arbitrary positive integer) there is a number which is the difference of two elements from SS. Does there exist a thick set such that the sum of its elements is finite?
