Last evening I was working out some things about the Problem 299 (View Problem).
My geometrical exploration felt fruitious, findings were amazing and I felt accomplished.
However, when I went to test it on the small sizes, I only got back 74 combinations of the (a, b, d), instead of the given 92.
I am fairly certain that my reasoning is correct, but there must be a mistake somewhere.
Am I allowed to post the triplets here directly and someone could point out a missing one?
Alternatively, is there a kind soul I could PM these to someone instead?
Thank you very much!

Re: Problem 299
Right. I wasn't 100% sure results of any kind counted.
But then, sometimes there are "partial" solutions being posted for some lower bounds on some problems - is that not against the rule?
Not sure I fully grasp what's allowed and what's not.
