The sequence $a_1,a_2,\dots$ of integers satisfies the conditions:
(i) $1\le a_j\le2015$ for all $j\ge1$,
(ii) $k+a_k\neq \ell+a_\ell$ for all $1\le k<\ell$.
Prove that there exist two positive integers $b$ and $N$ for which\[\left\vert\sum_{j=m+1}^n(a_j-b)\right\vert\le1007^2\]for all integers $m$ and $n$ such that $n>m\ge N$.

IMO 2015 - Problem 6
- What is the value of the contour integral around Western Europe?
- Zero.
- Why?
- Because all the poles are in Eastern Europe.
Revive the IMO marathon.
