    Abstract

    We consider the following problem: for which values of $n$ can the sequence $a_1,\ldots, a_n$ of real numbers be reconstructed (up to order) from the sequence $s_1,\ldots, s_m$ of the sums $a_i + a_j$ where $1 \le i < j \le n$, and $m ={n\choose 2}$? The answer is positive for $n = 3,5,6$, and it is negative for $n=2^k$ with $k \ge 0$.
