Amateur Mathematics : Integral bricks



Euler found a brick with integral diagonals on the faces, when the lengths of each side are 44, 117, 240. I too have found this solution.

Euler didn't manage to find a brick with integral cross diagonals (i.e. w*w+h*h+d*d).

And guess what? Neither did I! All the way up to 1000x1000x1000.

But I did manage to find some other examples of Eulers problem. Alas, none were smaller than the original solution.

England goes Smokefree on July 1st


Not that anyone needs telling, but since I'm unlikely to be around to blog it on Sunday I'll point out this video clip now, Smokefree magic.
