ELMO 2012 Problem 3

    Let f,gf, g be polynomials with complex coefficients such that gcd⁡(deg⁡f,deg⁡g)=1\gcd(\deg f, \deg g) = 1. Suppose that there exist polynomials P(x,y)P(x, y) and Q(x,y)Q(x, y) with complex coefficients such that f(x)+g(y)=P(x,y)Q(x,y)f(x) + g(y) = P(x, y)Q(x, y). Show that one of PP and QQ must be constant.
