IMO 1985 Problem 2

  • Day 1

Let nn and kk be relatively prime positive integers with k<nk<n . Each number in the set M={1,2,3,…,n−1}M=\{1,2,3,\ldots,n-1\} is colored either blue or white. For each ii in MM , both ii and n−in-i have the same color. For each i≠ki\ne k in MM both ii and ∣i−k∣|i-k| have the same color. Prove that all numbers in MM must have the same color.
