Third Problem, Danube Mathematical Competition 2012

Mesaj de Laurențiu Ploscaru »

Let $p$ and $q,\ p<q$, be two primes such that $1+p+p^2+...+p^m$ is a power of $q$ and $1+q+q^2+...+q^n$ is a power of $p$, for some positive integers $m$ and $m$. Prove that $p=2$ and $q=2^t-1$ where $t$ is a prime number.
People are strange when you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly when you're alone.
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted,
Streets are uneven when you're down.
