Find nine different integers from 1 to 20 inclusive such that no combination of any three of the nine integers form an arithmetic sequence.
(For example, if two of the integers chosen were 7 and 13, then that would preclude 1, 10 and 19 from being included.)

The two possible sets of nine positive integers in consonance with the given conditions are :
{1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15, 18, 20}, and
{1,3 ,6, 7, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20}
For an explanation, refer to the computer program assisted solution submitted by Charlie in this location. |
