Erdős problem 228

Does there exist, for all large nn, a polynomial PP of degree nn, with coefficients ±1\pm1, such that nP(z)n\sqrt n \ll |P(z)| \ll \sqrt n for all z=1|z|=1, with the implied constants independent of zz and nn?

The answer is yes, proved by Balister, Bollobás, Morris, Sahasrabudhe, and Tiba [BBMST19].
