Some number theoretic speculations 2008-12-04
From Andrew:
Another way of looking at the 'alternating parity polynomial', again based on Fermat's Little Theorem, is to substitute (a - b) for x in x^(p-1) - 1 as this is always divisible by any prime p. So, if one removes the "- 1", there is always a remainder of (1/p)! (I took up your challenge!)
