Problem Statement

The teacher wrote 55 distinct real numbers on the board. After this, Petryk calculated the sums of each pair of these numbers and wrote them on the left part of the board, and Vasyl calculated the sums of each triple of these numbers and wrote them on the left part of the board (each of them wrote 1010 numbers). Could the multisets of numbers written by Petryk and Vasyl be identical?
