Given rational N and P, find all integers a,b,x,y satisfying a + y = b + x, for which N = (ay - bx)/(xy - ab) and P = (xy - ab)/(ax - by). -- Amer. Math. Monthly 91:6 (solution listed there; don't peek!) If you want to forward solutions to me instead of the Net, go right ahead -- but only until the end of June; use the mail after that time.
