Problem Statement

We call a polynomial P(x)P(x) intresting if there are 13981398 distinct positive integers n1,...,n1398n_1,...,n_{1398} such that P(x)=xni+1P(x)=\sum_{}{x^{n_i}}+1 Does there exist infinitly many polynomials P1(x),P2(x),...P_1(x),P_2(x),... such that for each distinct i,ji,j the polynomial Pi(x)Pj(x)P_i(x)P_j(x) is interesting.
