Whoa, Nellie, I had no idea!

It's a sign of my skeptical nature that I tested out that triple, but it does work. 😀

At the very least, it shows that the Egyptians were able to generate Pythagorean triples, but as you say it's hard to believe they got that far without knowing the whole Theorem.

What an eye-opener for me! Thanks so much.
