Re: bases

The harmonic mean of two positive numbers is the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of their reciprocals. For how many ordered pairs of positive integers (x, y) with x < y is the harmonic mean equal to 6^{20}?

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
