Let's suppose you have an array A of numbers (0-255). Then, you pick a single variable K (0-255), and you create another array B. Where Bi = Ai ^ K. Is there a way to restore the original array A? If you are not giving A or K.

Anyone cares to share the solution if it's so obvious that I'm getting downvotes?

255255 has 614 digits.
Are you sure about constraints or is there any modulo involved ?
It is not a POWER it is XOR
Thanks for pointing that out. It can confuse some people.
if (Ai^K = Bi) then
Ai^K^K = Bi^K, so Ai = Bi^K(because K^K = 0)
Ai^K^Ai = Bi^Ai, so K = Bi^Ai(because Ai^Ai = 0)
That's how we can find Ai, when we have Bi and K or we can find K, when we have Ai and Bi.
