BALTIC-WAY 2017 Problem 18

  • Answer

Let p>3p>3 be a prime and let a1,a2,…,ap−12a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{\frac{p-1}{2}} be a permutation of 1,2,…,p−121,2, \ldots, \frac{p-1}{2}. For which pp is it always possible to determine the sequence a1,a2,…,ap−12a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{\frac{p-1}{2}} if for all i,j∈{1,2,…,p−12}i, j \in\left\{1,2, \ldots, \frac{p-1}{2}\right\} with i≠ji \neq j the residue of aiaja_{i} a_{j} modulo pp is known?
