I posted the question [here](http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/501052/find-specified-sets-of-residues-mod-an-even-number), but it seems to be more difficult than I expected. So I think it may be suited for MO. (Another reason is that the answer may hopefully give solution to [the question](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/141281/dimension-of-a-homogeneous-polynomial-system) on this site.) Let $k$ and $l$ be integers greater than $4$. My question is to determine the set $S$ of $k$ elements in $\mathbb{Z}/2l\mathbb{Z}$ satisfying the following three conditions: (1) if $a\in S$, then $a+l\not\in S$; (2) for any $a\in S$, there exist $b\neq c\in S$ such that $2a=b+c$; (3) for any $b\neq c\in S$ such that $b+c$ is even (this makes sense since $2l$ is even), there exists $a\in S$ such that $2a=b+c$. An observation is that whenever $S$ is a set satisfying the above conditions, $S+m$ is also such a set for all $m\in\mathbb{Z}/2l\mathbb{Z}$. It is easy to verify that when $k$ is odd and $l=kn$, the set $\{t,t+2n,t+4n,\dots,t+2(k-1)n\}$ satisfies the three conditions for all $t\in\mathbb{Z}/2l\mathbb{Z}$. But I'm not aware of any other examples yet. (If these are the only satisfactory sets, then I am able to give an affirmative answer to [this question](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/141281/dimension-of-a-homogeneous-polynomial-system).)
