Find all integers n 3 n \geq 3 for which there exist real numbers a 1 , a 2 , . . . , a n + 2 a_1, a_2,...,a_{n + 2} such that a n + 1 = a 1 a_{n + 1} = a_1 and a n + 2 = a 2 a_{n + 2} = a_2 and

a i a i + 1 + 1 = a i + 2 a_i a_{i+1} + 1 = a_{i + 2}

for i = 1 , 2 , . . . , n i = 1, 2, ..., n

The person who answers it correctly and gives the official solution first - there is 2 2 - go to International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) Hall of Fame

3 n \frac{3}{n} 3 2 n \frac{3}{2n} 2 n \frac{2}{n}
