Avg difficulty 3.0

Let N=6N=6, p=5p=5, and q=16q=16, and suppose Bob chooses f(x)=x3+x2−1f(x)=x^{3}+x^{2}-1 and g(x)=x4−x3−x+1g(x)=x^{4}-x^{3}-x+1. Given F5(x)=3x5+4x4+x3+2x2+2x+4F_{5}(x)=3x^{5}+4x^{4}+x^{3}+2x^{2}+2x+4 and F16(x)=7x5+5x4+14x3+9x2+12x+2F_{16}(x)=7x^{5}+5x^{4}+14x^{3}+9x^{2}+12x+2, what is Bob’s public key?
