NL-NWO 1981 Problem 3

    We want to split the set of natural numbers from 11 to 3n3n , where nn is a natural number, into nn mutually disjoint sets {x,y,z}\{x,y,z\} of three elements such that always holds: x+y=3zx + y = 3z . Is this possible for : a) n=5n = 5 ? b) n=10n=10 ? In both cases, provide either such a split or proof that such a split is not possible.
