Monic Polynomial

N 27 minutes ago by zuat.e
Source: Romanian Masters 2017 D1 P2
Determine all positive integers $n$ satisfying the following condition: for every monic polynomial $P$ of degree at most $n$ with integer coefficients, there exists a positive integer $k\le n$ and $k+1$ distinct integers $x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_{k+1}$ such that \[P(x_1)+P(x_2)+\cdots +P(x_k)=P(x_{k+1})\].

Note. A polynomial is monic if the coefficient of the highest power is one.

Source: St. Petersburg Olympiad 2015, 2nd Round, Grade 9, also known as Yellowstone Permutation
A sequence of integers is defined as follows: $a_1=1,a_2=2,a_3=3$ and for $n>3$, $$a_n=\textsf{The smallest integer not occurring earlier, which is relatively prime to }a_{n-1}\textsf{ but not relatively prime to }a_{n-2}.$$Prove that every natural number occurs exactly once in this sequence.

The solution assumed $g(x)^k=g(kx)$, but your problem clearly stated $g^k(x)=g(kx)$.

$\text{yea g(x) multiplied k times is the question, that was what was given in the question, maybe they should have defined it's not applying f(x) k times}$

@above, if u can please post P4

Okay, that resolves both P3's.
I don't have a good problem off the top of my head, so here is a simple one.

$\textbf{P4}$
find all functions such that $f: \mathbb{Q} \to \mathbb{Q}$
$f(x)+f(t)=f(y)+f(z)$ $\forall$ rational numbers $x<y<z<t$ that forms an Arithmetic Progression
