I couldn't help but notice that this is exactly the same email
as sent yesterday by "Kane Williams" (see below).  Are you
connected somehow?

In any case, it is hard to say anything useful without seeing your code
or a precise description of the task.  i.e. - There are an infinite number
of right triangles for a given perimeter.  So given just your brief
description, the problem doesn't sound well formed.

Dan Nachbar
