Some Thoughts A second all-positive solution (spoilers) | Comment 3 of 13 |

Recapping the first solution and adding the second:

  a     b     c          lhs = rhs    
450  4500  5050        1000000000000
7350  6000  6650        8000000000000

The program is currently up to somewhere between 21000 and 22000 for the total of a+b+c and still working on it.
