If we take ([T=(a, b, c)), we got a + b + c = x − y + y − z + z − x = 0 so b = − ( a + c )
Let r ∈ C , x ′ = x + r , y ′ = y + r , z ′ = z + r , then a = x ′ − y ′ , b = y ′ − z ′ , c = z ′ − x ′ So we can suppose x ′ = x − x = 0 , and then x ′ = 0 , y ′ = − a , z ′ = c And the equallity become − 2 a c = − a ( − a − 1 ) = c ( c − 1 ) − 2 a c = a ( a + 1 ) = c ( c − 1 ) If c = 0 then a ( a + 1 ) = 0
So the possible solutions are T = ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) T = ( − 1 , 1 , 0 ) Else c = 0 and − 2 a c = c ( c − 1 )
So − 2 a = c − 1 ; c = 1 − 2 a
Taking the equallity a ( a + 1 ) = c ( c − 1 ) we have a 2 + a = 4 a 2 − 2 a 3 a 2 = 3 a So, the possible solutions are T = ( 0 , − 1 , 1 ) T = ( 1 , 0 , − 1 )
Then, the answer is n = 4
