Problem
Find all solutions 
of the system
where 
is a parameter.
Solution
Notice: The following words are Chinese.
首先,我们可以将以上5个方程相加,得到:
当
时,因为关于原方程组轮换对称,所以
若反之,则方程两边同除以
,得到
,显然解为
综上所述,若,最终答案为,否则答案为
The solution in English (translated by Google Translate):
First of all, we can add the five equations to get:
When , Because is symmetric in the original equations,
Otherwise, dividing both sides by 
, we get , and clearly
Summarizing, if , then the answer is of the form . Otherwise, .
Mistake
While doing this question, I found out that the answer is actually wrong, can equal 
and 
and still produce an infinite number of solutions in the form 
where 
is a real number and the set is cyclic (Ex: The set can correspond to 
or 
, either works. Order matters, but not starting position.). For example, if 
and 
the set will be 
, which you can test and find out that it still works even though the set isn't symmetric.
Can someone change this answer so it's correct?
Edit: 亲爱的中国盆友，我找到错误了。
If 
, y can be anything.
