Those are nice problems. If you're prepping for the Olympiad, you will need the skills. If all else fails, brute force it! Of course, if you're not fast enough, you'll waste too much time.

Personally, I wrote down the ratios and solved for b. You could solve for any of the 4 remaining arbitrary coefficients.

They were nice to you and made them both monic quadratics.
