Let $n, m$ and $t$ be positive integers. Define the multi-family of sequences
$$S(n,m,t)=sum_k_1+cdots+k_n=mbinommk_1,dots,k_n^t$$
where the sum runs over non-negative integers $k_1,dots,k_n$. These numbers are related to average distances (from the origin) of uniform unit-step random walks on the plane.




QUESTION. Is it always true that $n$ divides $S(n,m,t)$?




Observe that $S(n,m,1)=n^m$.

          We count the number of $t$-tuples $(xi_1,ldots,xi_t)$ of the colorings of $1,ldots,m$ with $n$ given colors, for which any two colorings use the same multisets of colors. If $M$ is the number of such tuples in which 1 is colored red in the coloring $xi_1$ (red is one of our $n$ colors), the total number of $t$-tuples equals $ncdot M$.
