Integer points on circles. (Posted on 2011-02-28) Difficulty: 3 of 5
If a circle is centered on the origin and has radius r, it may pass through some points with integer coordinates. In fact, by symmetry, this will be a multiple of 4.

Find the smallest radius that will pass through 4n integer points where n=1,2,3,4,5.

Feel free to go further.

Ah yes, now that I understand, I do agree with your solution for n = 1,2,3,4.  Full marks!
