Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. \(\displaystyle \frac{A+B}{2} = \overline{A,B} = A + \frac{B}{1000}\), ahonnan \(\displaystyle A+B = 2A + \frac{B}{500}\). Mivel a bal oldal egész, a jobb oldalnak is annak kell lennie, ami csak úgy lehet, ha \(\displaystyle B = 500\). Ekkor \(\displaystyle A+500 = 2A+1\), ahonnan \(\displaystyle A=499\).

Ellenőrzés: \(\displaystyle \frac{499+500}{2}=499,500\).
