Find all triples $(f,g,h)$ of injective functions from the set of real numbers to itself satisfying
\begin{align*}
f(x+f(y)) &= g(x) + h(y) \\
g(x+g(y)) &= h(x) + f(y) \\
h(x+h(y)) &= f(x) + g(y)
\end{align*}

$\indent$ For a positive integer $n$, let $S_n$ be the set of bijective functions from $\{1,2,\dots ,n\}$ to itself. For a pair of positive integers $(a,b)$ such that $1 \leq a <b \leq n$, and for a permutation $\sigma \in S_n$, we say the pair $(a,b)$ is [i][u]expanding[/u][/i] for $\sigma$ if $|\sigma (a)- \sigma(b)| \geq |a-b|$

A sentence of the following type if often heard in Hungarian weather reports: "Last night's minimum temperatures took all values between $ \minus{}3$ degrees and $ \plus{}5$ degrees." Show that it would suffice to say, "Both $ \minus{}3$ degrees and $ \plus{}5$ degrees occurred among last night's minimum temperatures."
