CZ-SK-MO 2009 Problem 5

    At every vertex Ak(1≤k≤n)A_k(1\le k\le n) of a regular nn -gon, kk coins are placed. We can do the following operation: in each step, one can choose two arbitrarily coins and move them to their adjacent vertices respectively, one clockwise and one anticlockwise. Find all positive integers nn such that after a finite number of operations, we can reach the following configuration: there are n+1−kn+1-k coins at vertex AkA_k for all 1≤k≤n1\le k\le n .
