    Conjecture (Snevily, 1999) [see \textit{H. S. Snevily}, ibid. 85, 120--125 (1999; Zbl 0917.05076)]: Let \(G\) be an abelian group with odd order. Let \(A, B\) be subsets of \(G\) with cardinality \(n>0\). Then there are bijections \(f: \{1, 2, \dots ,n\}\to A\) and \(g: \{1, 2, \dots ,n\}\to B\) such that \(f(i)+g(i) \neq f(j)+g(j)\), for all \(i\neq j\). Using restricted sums, the author generalizes known results on the above conjecture.
