Math brain teaser
This was a cute problem that was sent my way a long time ago. It took me a while to come up with the answer, but very cool once you figure it out.

A computer generates a random polynomial whose coefficients are non-negative integers. You are allowed to ask the computer to evaluate the polynomial at two values. What two values do you choose in order to completely determine the coefficients?
