11432. Proposed by Marian Tetiva, National College "Gheorghe Ros¸ca Codreanu,"
B^irlad, Romania. Let P be a polynomial of degree n with complex coefficients and
with P(0) = 0. Show that for any complex with || < 1 there exist complex num-
bers z1, . . . , zn+2, all of norm 1, such that P() = P(z1) + ˇ ˇ ˇ + P(zn+2).
