Problem
For a finite set 
of integers, we define 
to be the sum of the elements of . Find two nonempty sets 
and 
, whose intersection is empty and whose union is the set 
, such that the product 
is a perfect square.
Solution
The solution to the equation is 
and 
; we can simply consider removing numbers to find the sets themselves, which just so happen to be
