Let be the least positive residue modulo 2tk of (2j- l)h. Define ut to be the number of with l≤j≤2t-2k such that . At the Special Session in Combinatorial Number Theory at the 1977 Summer AMS Meeting Szekeres [2] asked for a simple proof that if (h, 2k)=1, then

Here a simple proof will be given for the following equivalent result.
