    Let p≥19p \ge 19 be an odd integer, and color the numbers 0,1,…,p−10,1,\dots,p-1 with two colors. For 1≤i≤p1\le i\le p, let xix_i denote a random element of the set {0,1,…,p−1}\{0,1,\dots,p-1\} (the choices are independent, and have uniform distribution). Prove that the probability of the event that x1,…,xpx_1,\dots,x_p have the same color and pp divides x1+⋯+xpx_1+\cdots + x_p is at least 3/(2pp)3/(2^pp).
