MEMO 2016 I2

    There are n≥3n \ge 3 positive integers written on a board. A move consists of choosing three numbers a,b,ca, b, c written from the board such that there exists a non-degenerate non-equilateral triangle with sides a,b,ca, b, c and replacing those numbers with a+b−c,b+c−aa + b - c, b + c - a and c+a−bc + a - b .

    Prove that a sequence of moves cannot be infinite.
