ELMO 2021 Problem 2

    Let n>1n > 1 be an integer and let a1,a2,…,ana_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n be integers such that n∣ai−in \mid a_i-i for all integers 1≤i≤n1 \leq i \leq n . Prove there exists an infinite sequence b1,b2,…b_1,b_2, \ldots such that

    • bk∈{a1,a2,…,an}b_k\in\{a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_n\} for all positive integers kk , and
    • ∑k=1∞bknk\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{b_k}{n^k} is an integer.
