ILL 1985 Problem 1

    Each of the numbers in the set N={1,2,3,⋯ ,n−1}N = \{1, 2, 3, \cdots, n - 1\}, where n≥3n \geq 3, is colored with one of two colors, say red or black, so that:

    (i) ii and n−in - i always receive the same color, and

    (ii) for some j∈Nj \in N, relatively prime to nn, ii and ∣j−i∣|j - i| receive the same color for all i∈N,i≠j.i \in N, i \neq j.

    Prove that all numbers in NN must receive the same color.
