Let $N$ be a 3-digit number with three distinct non-zero digits. We say that $N$ is [i]mediocre[/i] if it has the property that when all six 3-digit permutations of $N$ are written down, the average is $N$. For example, $N = 481$ is mediocre, since it is the average of $\{418, 481, 148, 184, 814, 841\}$. Determine the largest mediocre number.

Show that the number of positive integer solutions to $x_1 + 2^3x_2 + 3^3x_3 + \ldots + 10^3x_{10} = 3025$ (*) equals the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation $y_1 + 2^3y_2 + 3^3y_3 + \ldots + 10^3y_{10} = 0$. Hence show that (*) has a unique solution in positive integers and find it.
