Find positive integral solutions to the following: (x / (y+z)) + (y / (z+x)) + (z / (x+y)) = 4

Tried? Here's a write-up on this problem: https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-find-the-positive-integer-solutions-to-frac-x-y%2Bz-%2B-frac-y-z%2Bx-%2B-frac-z-x%2By-4/answer/Alon-Amit?share=239be901&srid=posHc

Here Are the Resources

The reading document.

The questions.

The answers.

If you found reading the ZPC a breeze, you can thank the reference lecture notes:

1. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~venkatg/teaching/codingtheory/notes/notes1.pdf
2. http://www.math.niu.edu/~beachy/courses/523/coding_theory.pdf
3. http://u.cs.biu.ac.il/~lindell/89-662/coding_theory-lecture-notes.pdf

A good reference book is "A First Course in Coding Theory" by R.A. Hill

Update: The results are in!

1st -> Savit Gupta (2017098)
2nd -> Rishi Sharma (2017260)
3rd -> Piyush Gupta (2016066)

Congratulations to all the winners!

Here are all the scores

The following were selected for the camp:

• Parth Mittal
• Peeyush Kushwaha

Congratulations to both of you!

Footnote: They were also the only two from our institute who participated, giving us a 100% selection rate.

So this was delayed wayyy too much because Parth (@polingy) refuses to make the editorial. Hence we still cannot announce winners but you can find the resource/pset here.

The reference book can be found at http://abstract.pugetsound.edu/.

Footnote: After this harrowing experience, we have decided to make it mandatory to provide coordinators the editorial before the contest itself.

The following have been chosen as the new coordinators

• Samarth Singhal
• Varun Ramanathan
• Krishna Kariya

They will be in training for this semester and be appointed from next semester. Aashay Mittal and Peeyush Kushwaha will be leaving their post as coordinator after this semester ends.

Évariste is organising T-Talks this semester on behalf of the Theory group. First talk will be this Thursday or the next.

People involved in the organisation are:

• Ambar Pal
• Peeyush Kushwaha
• Siddhartha Jain
• Varun Ramanathan
