Let M = ( 1 0 p + q ) 3 = ( p + q + 3 ) 5 .
Then we can see that M is a fifteenth power of a natural number, which makes ( 1 0 p + q ) a fifth power of that natural number.
But since ( 1 0 p + q ) is a two-digit number, it must be 2 5 = 3 2 .
∴ p = 3 , q = 2
.
Let N = ( 1 0 0 r + 1 0 s + t ) 2 = ( r + s + t ) 5 .
Then we can see that N is a tenth power of a natural number, which makes ( 1 0 0 r + 1 0 s + t ) a fifth power of that natural number.
But since ( 1 0 0 r + 1 0 s + t ) is a three-digit number, it must be 3 5 = 2 4 3 .
∴ r = 2 , s = 4 , t = 3
.
∴ p 2 + q 2 + r 2 + s 2 + t 2 = 3 2 + 2 2 + 2 2 + 4 2 + 3 2 = 4 2
