@ Admin: There's a (severe) typo in one of the problems.

After solving Problem 104 I saw this explanation of yours:

// I've hidden them to prevent spoiling solution - Admin :)

It appeared odd and I tried it with one of the samples. It wouldn't work. Please change

y3 in the third line to x3

It should be fine then.

Oh, what a silly mistake of mine :)

Thank you very-very much! I feel so stupid!

But now I at least know that there are people who read these "notes"...

UPD I've fixed this and if you do not mind I'll take care of slightly obfuscating your post now :)

You're welcome! In the first place I did the calculations with the standard point-to-point square root method for each side of the triangle. But the way you've proposed is much easier and more efficient. Glad I could help :)
