Mean Crossed Reversal Muse (Posted on 2023-03-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Determine all possible pairs (p, q) of base ten positive integers that satisfy this system of equations:
  • arithmetic mean (p, q) = 10x+y
  • geometric mean (p, q) = 10y+x
where, each of p and q is a nonzero base ten integer, with p≠q, and each of x and y is a base ten digit.

for p=1:500
  for q=1:500
    if p~=q
      amean=(p+q)/2;
      if amean==floor(amean) && amean>9 && amean < 100
        gmean=sqrt(p*q);
        if gmean==floor(gmean) && gmean<100
          if floor(amean/10)==mod(gmean,10)
            if floor(gmean/10)==mod(amean,10)
              disp([p q (p+q)/2 sqrt(p*q)])
            end
