DE-BUNDESWETTBEWERB 2017 Problem 5

    For which integers n≥4n \geq 4 is the following procedure possible? Remove one number of the integers 1,2,3,…,n+11,2,3,\dots,n+1 and arrange them in a sequence a1,a2,…,ana_1,a_2,\dots,a_n such that of the nn numbers ∣a1−a2∣,∣a2−a3∣,…,∣an−1−an∣,∣an−a1∣|a_1-a_2|,|a_2-a_3|,\dots,|a_{n-1}-a_n|,|a_n-a_1| no two are equal.
