    For a positive integer nn we denote by s(n)s(n) the sum of the digits of nn. Let P(x)=P(x)= xn+an−1xn−1+⋯+a1x+a0x^{n}+a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_{1} x+a_{0} be a polynomial, where n⩾2n \geqslant 2 and aia_{i} is a positive integer for all 0⩽i⩽n−10 \leqslant i \leqslant n-1. Could it be the case that, for all positive integers k,s(k)k, s(k) and s(P(k))s(P(k)) have the same parity? (Belarus)
