Find all integers $n \ge 2$ for which there exists an integer $m$ and a polynomial $P(x)$ with integer coefficients satisfying the following three conditions: [list] [*]$m > 1$ and $\gcd(m,n) = 1$; [*]the numbers $P(0)$, $P^2(0)$, $\ldots$, $P^{m-1}(0)$ are not divisible by $n$; and [*]$P^m(0)$ is divisible by $n$. [/list] Here $P^k$ means $P$ applied $k$ times, so $P^1(0) = P(0)$, $P^2(0) = P(P(0))$, etc. [i]Carl Schildkraut[/i]
