Here, have some copium
Progress:
Proved the l = n - 1 case
Conjectured a closed form for the answer (which is correct: (l-1)^2/(n(n-1)) + 1/n)
Proved that we can assume all A_i are distinct
Provided the construction for the conjectured answer, but did not have time to finish proving the construction works
Said the word "Jensen" which probably doesn't work anyway lol
Resolves N/A if MAA is extra goofy and doesn't release score distributions
edit: turns out you ahve to do some substitution so this is looking unlikely but if maa is really nice on partials like last year (i only wrote the answer, in fact a wrong answer, for usamo3, with a few ideas, and got 2 points) it's still plausible, i doubt it though
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.
