[seqfan] Re: three triangular numbers in a row

[Charles Greathouse]

No solution with less than 100,000 digits.  I tried to hold out for
the nicer-sounding million digits but that's taking longer than my
patience allows.  I used the standard Diophantine solution for
a(a+1)/2 = b(b+1)/4 and searched for cases where triple the first
value was a triangular number.
