IMC 2003 Problem 2

    Let a1,a2,...,a51a_1, a_2,...,a_{51} be non-zero elements of a field of characteristic pp . We simultaneously replace each element with the sum of the 50 remaining ones. In this way we get a sequence b1,...,b51b_1, ... , b_{51} . If this new sequence is a permutation of the original one, find all possible values of pp .
