Cheating in (2,6)-Shamir Sharing Scheme We consider a $(2, 6)$ Shamir secret sharing scheme over $Z_{11}$. Four players $A,B,C,D$ cooperate to find the secret, but one of them is cheating (so the share he claims to have might not be an actual share). They claim that their shares are;

$$A:(1,2)\quad B:(2,5)\quad C:(3,10)\quad D:(4,3)$$
Who is cheating and what is the secret?

I am using 4 equations:

\begin{aligned}
2 &amp;= s + a &amp; (1)\\
5 &amp;= s + 2a &amp;(2)\\
10 &amp;= s + 3a &amp;(3)\\
3 &amp;= s + 4a &amp;(4)
\end{aligned}

And solving for $s$ and $a$. 

I don't seem to know the exact approach? How do I go about solving this problem?
You have four equations and two unknowns.  Any two of those equations should therefore be solvable, and all pairs that don't include the cheater should yield the same solution.

(You don't actually need to solve all six possible pairs of equations if you know there's at most one cheater.  It's sufficient to e.g. just solve equations 1 &amp; 2, and check which of 3 &amp; 4 fails to fit the solution.  If both fail, solve 3 &amp; 4 instead, and check which of 1 &amp; 2 fails to fit.)

Also, remember that you will need to solve all those equations in $\mathbb Z_{11}$, i.e. using arithmetic modulo 11.
