DK-GEORGMOHR 2024 Problem 4

    Three different numbers are written on a blackboard. Each of the numbers are either 00 or a positive integer. In each move, Alma may choose two numbers aa and bb , where a>ba > b , and replace them by a2−b2a^2 -b^2 and 3a−b3a-b . After a finite number of moves Alma achieves that there are three identical numbers on the blackboard. Which numbers may have been on the blackboard at the beginning?
