Problem
How many three-digit positive integers 
are there whose nonzero digits 
and 
satisfy
![\[0.\overline{\underline{a}~\underline{b}~\underline{c}} = \frac{1}{3} (0.\overline{a} + 0.\overline{b} + 0.\overline{c})?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/e/4/9e448c87f48492e9f1518a6989dee06242cab99f.png)
(The bar indicates repetition, thus 
in the infinite repeating decimal
