Let q be a monic polynomial with integer coefficients. Prove that there exists a constant C depending only on polynomial q such that for an arbitrary prime number p and an arbitrary positive integer N≤p the congruence n!≡q(n)(modp) has at most CN2/3 solutions among any N consecutive integers.
This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, then check yourself against the publisher's own solution, linked below. Be honest about it: the record is only any use to you if it is.
