Problem Statement

Let n2n\ge 2 be an integer. We call an ordered nn-tuple of integers primitive if the greatest common divisor of its components is 11. Prove that for every finite set HH of primitive nn-tuples, there exists a non-constant homogenous polynomial f(x1,x2,,xn)f(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n) with integer coefficients whose value is 11 at every nn-tuple in HH.
