Given an odd prime $p$, find all functions $f:Z \rightarrow Z$ satisfying the following two conditions: (i) $f(m)=f(n)$ for all $m,n \in Z$ such that $m\equiv n\pmod p$; (ii) $f(mn)=f(m)f(n)$ for all $m,n \in Z$.

Let $a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots$ be a sequence of integers, with the property that every consecutive group of $a_i$'s averages to a perfect square. More precisely, for every positive integers $n$ and $k$, the quantity \[\frac{a_n+a_{n+1}+\cdots+a_{n+k-1}}{k}\] is always the square of an integer. Prove that the sequence must be constant (all $a_i$ are equal to the same perfect square). [i]Evan O'Dorney and Victor Wang[/i]
