ZA-SAMO 2001 Problem 6

    The unknown real numbers x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,\dots,x_n satisfy x1<x2<⋯<xn,x_1 < x_2 < \cdots < x_n, where n≥3n \geq 3 . The numbers ss , tt and d1,d2,…,dn−2d_1,d_2,\dots,d_{n - 2} are given, such that s=∑i=1nxi,t=∑i=1nxi2,di=xi+2−xi,  i=1,2,…,n−2.\begin{aligned} s & = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^nx_i, t & = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^nx_i^2, d_i & = x_{i + 2} - x_i,\ \ i = 1,2,\dots,n - 2. \end{aligned} For which nn is this information always sufficient to determine x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,\dots,x_n uniquely?
