Problem Statement

Prove that it is possible to color each positive integers with one of three colors so that the following conditions are satisfied: i)i) For each nN0n\in\mathbb{N}_{0} all positive integers xx such that 2nx<2n+12^n\le x<2^{n+1} have the same color. ii)ii) There are no positive integers x,y,zx,y,z of the same color (except x=y=z=2x=y=z=2) such that x+y=z2.x+y=z^2.
