then please re-word your conjecture, because as it stands, it's ambiguous and not true. It's ambiguous, because the way you defined r_i, one could have chosen r_i, r_i + p, r_i + 2p etc., but when you plug these into the sum, you get a different sum and the equality doesn't make sense.
still ambiguous
