An Almost Pythagorean Triple (abbreviated as "APT'), is a set of 3 integers in which square of the largest element, which we will call as its 'hypotenuse', is  less than the sum of square of the smaller elements (shorter sides). This means that if  is the hypotenuse and  and  are the shorter sides, , satisfies the following equation: 
        
        where:  
The smallest  is the triple , with  and perimeter (the sum of the 3 elements)  of . Some researchers consider  as the smallest , but here, we will only look at 's where the hypotenuse is "strictly" greater than the other shorter sides. Other examples of 's are , and . 
Unfortunately, unlike Pythagorean Triples, a 'closed formula' for generating all possible 's, has not yet been discovered, at the time of this writing. For this exercise, we will be dealing with 's with a known ratio between the hypotenuse and the shortest side: . 
Given the value of , find the perimeter of the  with the r-th smallest perimeter. For example for , that is , the smallest perimeter is  for  , while the second (r-th) smallest perimeter is , for the  with dimensions . For , the third smallest perimeter is  for  . 
The output can be very large, so please present only the last 12 digits if the number of digits of the perimeter exceeds 12.

I think the inequalities at the top of the problem must be backwards. In the example, c = 2*a, so c > a.

Ramon Villamangca on 29 Sep 2021

Hi William, Your right. I'd already changed. This should not affect the solution, though.

Are Mjaavatten on 27 Oct 2021

Hi Ramon,
Many of your "Easy" sequence problems have been challenging and fun. But here I am confused. I get the correct solutions for Tests 1 through 3. For Test 4 (and higher) I have problems. My result for Test 4 is p = 209737287485879. When I try to calculate a, b and c from r and the given value of p_correct (using Python3 and math.isqrt to handle large integers) I fail to find integer values.

Have I missed some important point here?

Tim on 27 Oct 2021

The p_correct values contain only the last 12 digits.

It seems I stopped reading (or absorbing what I read) before the last line of the problem description. Thanks to Tim for the clarification.

Ramon Villamangca on 2 Nov 2021

Hi, Are,
Sorry, I haven't look at the comments lately. I thought no one's gonna answer this one. Thanks Tim, for the clarification...

I know I can't use symbolics, but I was just checking to see if my algorithm was correct. It matches the test suite for r <=10 (before needing to mod for the last 12 digits), but not for larger r's. It seems like it should be correct. I must be missing something. Not sure if you want to provide me with a hint.

HINT: An optimized solution can be obtained via Pell's equation.

Hi William, the output should be the perimeter, not the triangle sides…
