What is the smallest integer that can be presented as a sum of 2 squares of distinct integers in 7 different ways?
(In reply to
Research by Brian Smith)
I messed up this one. I did the cases where order counts (a+b counts separately from b+a) and either exactly 7 was needed or, the other case, where at least 7 was needed.
But then I did only the case where at least 7 was needed, but even messed that up by requiring that the last sum needed equal squares, something not the case if the series goes on to an eighth solution.
