| Aug 12, 2016 at 1:33 | comment | added | Sávio | Ok, I'll post a new question. The first question was not really what I needed, it would just easily (but wrong) imply what I need. Well, to discover $s$ is an annoying handwork (I cannot programming), so I confess I didn't check many cases ($p=11,n=5$ only). The second question also implies what I need, but not too easy. I checked some cases by hand ($(n,p,k,s) = (5,11,6,4), (5,31,\{6,11,16,21,26\},16), (7,29,\{8,15,22\},\{7,16\})$) and it really does not seem to be false. An obvious observation is that $2 \le s \le \min\{k-1,q-k\}$. | |

But my question remains – have you tried checking the new question for some range of values? Evidently, you didn't do much of this for the original question. | |

| Aug 11, 2016 at 3:30 | comment | added | Sungjin Kim | Replacing $n$ by $(p-1)/n$ in the list of congruences would make an interesting problem. The problem in here is that $n$ can be too small compared to $p$. | |

| Aug 10, 2016 at 23:32 | comment | added | fedja | Obviously not. If it were true, then we would have $p|j^n+1$ for some $j\le n$, which is quite difficult for large $p$. | |
| Aug 10, 2016 at 22:45 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Have you tried checking this for some range of values of $p$ and $n$ and $s$? | |
