Counting also starts at 0. The reason many people believe it to start at 1 is due to them calling out counts only post-increment. For instance, if during a car ride you play a game of counting the number of pink cars you see along the way,

The ChessPositionRanking project, with help from the Texel chess engine author, tries to prove random positions (that are not obviously illegal) legal by constructing a game ending in the position. If that fails it tries to prove the positi

But all such triples are non-primitive. I.e. they are of the form (ka, kb, kc) with k>1. So all Pythagorean triples can be generated as a scaled primitive triple (a,b,c) that is generated by Euclid's formula from m,n.

Funny how correct is not associated with right. The normal association is reflected in he Haskell Either datatype for describing computations that either run into some error (Left error) or run successfully producing a value (Right value).
