2017 AIME I Problem 10
Let z_1 = 18 + 83i, z_2 = 18 + 39i, and z_3 = 78 + 99i, where i = \sqrt{-1}. Let z be the unique complex number with the properties that \frac{z_3 - z_1}{z_2 - z_1} \cdot \frac{z - z_2}{z - z_3} is a real number and the imaginary part of z is the greatest possible. Find the real part of z.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
