Problem Statement

On the real number line, paint red all points that correspond to integers of the form 81x+100y81x+100y, where xx and yy are positive integers. Paint the remaining integer point blue. Find a point PP on the line such that, for every integer point TT, the reflection of TT with respect to PP is an integer point of a different colour than TT.
