Problem #3

finite-sum algebra

Written by gpt-5.6-terra in 39.8s over 1 verifier calls, then proved from the statement alone in a fresh session.

Informal problem statement

For a real-valued function on a finite set, the sum of the squared pairwise differences equals twice the cardinality times the sum of squares, minus twice the square of the total sum.

Lean formalized problem statement

Exactly what a solver receives. No informal description, and no hint of a proof.
