In today's video we go over one of my favourite number theory problems that came in the IMO. The problem statement is quite short, yet the problem is surprisingly challenging. The method of infinite descent is used here which I think is one of the most elegant ways to arrive at a contradiction. If there's any problem you want to see me solve, suggest it in the comments.
