Find all possible solutions:
P=(x-1)*(x-2)*(x-4)*(x-8) =ax^2
Solve to get (x,y) for P(a)
Evaluate:
i. (x,y) for a=7 (original version)
ii. for a=4 (more friendly results!)

My error.
The mission is to find all values of x.
My question: what is the raison d’etre of the reviewing board?
Sometimes there is nitpicking of super minor details and now a mysterious "y" walks through all authorities. ?.
I am puzzled.. The judges introduced the "friendly" answers but did not pay attention to a redundant y... Why? ...
.....Now solve it
