a) Do there exist $2$-element subsets $A_1,A_2,A_3,...$ of natural numbers such that each natural number appears in exactly one of these sets and also for each natural number $n$, sum of the elements of $A_n$ equals $1391+n$? b) Do there exist $2$-element subsets $A_1,A_2,A_3,...$ of natural numbers such that each natural number appears in exactly one of these sets and also for each natural number $n$, sum of the elements of $A_n$ equals $1391+n^2$?
