Problem 249. Project Euler: Problem 9, Pythagorean numbers
A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a b c, for which,
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
For example,
3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 5^2 = 25.
There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = N (the input).
Find the product abc.

@ Doug Hall, I have solved all the problems in the series. However, I have not received the badge and the associated scores on completion of the series. Can you please help me with this?

Wow, all the triangles are in the ratio of 8:15:17? Pretty huge oversight.

People have realized that all test cases are based on the primitive Pythagorean triplet (8, 15, 17) and the solutions are full of hacks. This is quite annoying as one cannot compare one's solution with other valid ones.
