Each of a, b, c, d and e is a positive integer satisfying this system of equations:

a^-2 + b^-2 + c^-2 = d^-2, and:

a+b+c = e²

Determine the smallest value of e. What are the next two smallest values of e?

(In reply to The value of e by Math Man)

I believe KS was referring to the variable e in the question, not the base of the natural logarithms (aka Euler's constant.)   :-)
