contents It is a long-standing open problem whether modal logics of the form $\mathbf{K} \oplus \Box^n p \to \Box^m p$ for $n>m>1$ have the finite model property (FMP). We solve this by showing that any modal logic axiomatized by formulas of the form $\Box^n p \to \Box^m p$ where $n>m>1$ has the FMP.
