A problem by Diego E. Nazario Ojeda

Level pending

A member of Brilliant remembers the previous system, in which members received 4 4 weekly problems of each topic, with 3 3 opportunities for each problem. He remembers that one week, in Number Theory, he got all the problems correct, but he gave two wrong answers previously. This event is possible in x x ways. If x -x is the only root of a polynomial of degree 2 2 , what is the sum of the coefficients of that polynomial?

Details

The order of the answers doesn't matters. Getting a wrong answer in the second and third problem is the same if you answer first the second, or the third.


The answer is 121.
