Let $P(x)$ be a nonconstant complex coefficient polynomial and let $Q(x,y)=P(x)-P(y).$ Suppose that polynomial $Q(x,y)$ has exactly $k$ linear factors unproportional two by tow (without counting repetitons). Let $R(x,y)$ be factor of $Q(x,y)$ of degree strictly smaller than $k$. Prove that $R(x,y)$ is a product of linear polynomials. [b]Note: [/b] The [i]degree[/i] of nontrivial polynomial $\sum_{m}\sum_{n}c_{m,n}x^{m}y^{n}$ is the maximum of $m+n$ along all nonzero coefficients $c_{m,n}.$ Two polynomials are [i]proportional[/i] if one of them is the other times a complex constant.

We say that we extend a finite sequence of positive integers $(a_1,\dotsc,a_n)$ if we replace it by \[(1,2,\dotsc,a_1-1,a_1,1,2,\dotsc,a_2-1,a_2,1,2,\dotsc,a_3-1,a_3,\dotsc,1,2,\dotsc,a_n-1,a_n)\] i.e., each element $k$ of the original sequence is replaced by $1,2,\dotsc,k$. Géza takes the sequence $(1,2,\dotsc,9)$ and he extends it $2017$ times. Then he chooses randomly one element of the resulting sequence. What is the probability that the chosen element is $1$?
