For a positive integer $n$, a cubic polynomial $p(x)$ is said to be [i]$n$-good[/i] if there exist $n$ distinct integers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ such that all the roots of the polynomial $p(x) + a_i = 0$ are integers for $1 \le i \le n$. Given a positive integer $n$ prove that there exists an $n$-good cubic polynomial.

Suppose that $n$ people $A_1$, $A_2$, $\ldots$, $A_n$, ($n \geq 3$) are seated in a circle and that $A_i$ has $a_i$ objects such that
\[ a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n = nN \]
where $N$ is a positive integer. In order that each person has the same number of objects, each person $A_i$ is to give or to receive a certain number of objects to or from its two neighbours $A_{i-1}$ and $A_{i+1}$. (Here $A_{n+1}$ means $A_1$ and $A_n$ means $A_0$.) How should this redistribution be performed so that the total number of objects transferred is minimum?
