Question 23
A quadratic polynomial with real coefficients and leading coefficient $1$ is called *disrespectful* if the equation $p(p(x)) = 0$ is satisfied by exactly three real numbers. Among all the disrespectful quadratic polynomials, there is a unique such polynomial $\tilde{p}(x)$ for which the sum of the roots is maximized. What is $\tilde{p}(1)?$
