Solution

Dear friends and visitors of the site.

Thank you for your solutions.

The first to send a correct one were Jacob and Patrick.

Our congratulations to them!

 

Here is my solution:

You can rearrange the equation as

(x-2018)(y-2018)=20182    So the solutions are

x=y=4036 or x=y=0

I wish you all a great summer.

See you back in September. Serge Hazanov
