Explaining $\left(a-1\right)^n \cdot n! \mid a^{n-1} \prod_{i=1}^n \left(a^i-1\right)$ by a free $S_n$-action
Here is an olympiad-level problem on elementary number theory:
Let $a$ be an integer and $n$ a positive integer. Prove that
\begin{align}
\left(a-1\right)^n \cdot n! \mid a^{n-1} \prod_{i=1}^n \left(...

Combinatorial bijection on monotone sequences
Let $(n),\mu$ be the partition of $n$ define $H_g^{m}((n);\mu)$ count's the number of tuples $(\tau_1,\ldots,\tau_r)$ of transposition in symmetric group $S_n$ with the following conditions
$$ (1,2,\...
