We show that the solution to this problem has a close connection with the searching of the optimal constants for the \\emph{real} polynomial Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. So we are lead to a detailed study of the hypercontractivity constants for real scalars. In fact we study two notions of constants of hypercontractivity: absolute ($H_{a,\\mathbb{R}}$) and asymptotic ($H_{\\infty,\\mathbb{R}}$). Among other results, our estimates combined with recent results from \\cite{CMPS} show that \\[ 1.5098
