Talk:Special pythagorean triplet
For those paying "attention to timings" and more importantly for those paying attention to other comments I have made on these Euler tasks about filling RC with solutions worse than I would expect from a schoolboy with a pencil, considering n2+g2=i2 and n+g+i=1000 n<g<i note the following:
the largest value n can take is 332 with g=333 and i=335 the smallest value of i2-g2 is when g=(999-n)/2 and i=1000-g if i2-g2 is greater than n2 then there can be no solution for this n with a smaller g
