There are infinitely many sets of positive integers A<B<C<D such that A^2+B^2, A^2+B^2+C^2, and A^2+B^2+C^2+D^2 are all squares. Find the value of A≤ 1500 which leads to the largest number of solutions.

Difficulty: 4 of 5 Bonus: Rectangular Logic (in Logic) Rating: 3.75
Promising them an increase in their allowance if they get the answer, I offer my two sons, Peter and Paul, the following puzzler:

"I am thinking of a rectangle with integer sides, each of which are greater than one inch. The total perimeter of the rectangle is no greater than eighty inches."

I then whisper the total area to Peter and the total perimeter to Paul. Neither of them are allowed to tell the other what they heard: their job is to work out the rectangle's dimensions.

Their subsequent conversation goes like this:

Peter: Hmmm... I have no idea what the perimeter is.
Paul: I knew you were going to say that. However, I don't know what the area is.
Peter: Still no clue as to the perimeter...
Paul: But now I know what the area is!
Peter: And I know what the perimeter is!

What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
