AT-OEMO-FED1 2011 Problem 3

    A set of three elements is called arithmetic if one of its elements is the arithmetic mean of the other two. Likewise, a set of three elements is called harmonic if one of its elements is the harmonic mean of the other two.

    How many three-element subsets of the set of integers {z∈Z∣−2011<z<2011}\left\{z\in\mathbb{Z}\mid -2011<z<2011\right\} are arithmetic and harmonic?

    (Remark: The arithmetic mean A(a,b)A(a,b) and the harmonic mean H(a,b)H(a,b) are defined as A(a,b)=a+b2andH(a,b)=2aba+b=21a+1b,A(a,b)=\frac{a+b}{2} \text{and} H(a,b)=\frac{2ab}{a+b}=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}}\text{,} respectively, where H(a,b)H(a,b) is not defined for some aa , bb .)
