\[\Large{P(x) = x^3 - 3x+1}\]
Let \(Q(x) = x^3 + Ax^2 + Bx + C\) be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that its roots are the fifth powers of the roots of \(P(x)\). Evaluate \(A+B+C\).

\[ \large \begin{cases} {a+b+c=9} \\ {a^2+b^2+c^2=99} \\ {a^3+b^3+c^3 = 999} \end{cases} \]
If \(a,b\) and \(c\) are complex numbers that satisfy the system of equations above, find the remainder of \(a^5+b^5+c^5\) when divided by 78.
