The error below was caused by reusing code from the original Pythagorean Poser puzzle and neglecting to change one of the lines. Thanks to xdog for spotting this ridiculous error.


DefDbl A-Z
Dim crlf$


Private Sub Form_Load()
 Form1.Visible = True
 
 Text1.Text = ""
 crlf = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)

 For tot = 2 To 50000
  For a = 1 To tot / 2
   b = tot - a
   c = tot - 12
   If a * a + b * b = c * c Then
       Text1.Text = Text1.Text & a & Str(b) & "   " & c & crlf
       DoEvents
   End If
  Next
 Next
 
 
 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf & " done"
  
End Sub

* Ignore the first row, as the program didn't check to make sure c was positive
