RMM 2024 Problem 2

  • Day 1

Consider an odd prime pp and a positive integer N<50pN<50 p. Let a1,a2,…,aNa_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{N} be a list of positive integers less than pp such that any specific value occurs at most 51100N\frac{51}{100} N times and a1+a2+⋯+aNa_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{N} is not divisible by pp. Prove that there exists a permutation b1,b2,…,bNb_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots, b_{N} of the aia_{i} such that, for all k=1,2,…,Nk=1,2, \ldots, N, the sum b1+b2+⋯+bkb_{1}+b_{2}+\cdots+b_{k} is not divisible by pp.
