    Let pp be an odd prime number and a1,a2,...,apa_1,a_2,...,a_p and b1,b2,...,bpb_1,b_2,...,b_p two arbitrary permutations of the numbers 1,2,...,p1,2,...,p . Show that the least positive residues modulo pp of the numbers a1b1,a2b2,...,apbpa_1b_1, a_2b_2,...,a_pb_p never form a permutation of the numbers 1,2,...,p1,2,...,p .
