Let P1(x)=x2+a1x+b1P_1(x) = x^2 + a_1x + b_1 and P2(x)=x2+a2x+b2P_2(x) = x^2 + a_2x + b_2 be two quadratic polynomials with integer coeffcients. Suppose a1a2a_1 \ne a_2 and there exist integers mnm \ne n such that P1(m)=P2(n),P2(m)=P1(n)P_1(m) = P_2(n), P_2(m) = P_1(n). Prove that a1a2a_1 - a_2 is even.
