You are given 99 thin rigid rods with lengths 1, 2, 3, ..., 99. You are asked to assemble these into as many right triangles as you wish. What is the largest total area that can be obtained? (Each side of a triangle must be one entire rod.)
(In reply to

That brings the total (so far) to 15,306, when the 2166 from (57,76,95) is added in also.
