[seqfan] Re: No right isosceles triangles in a square grid

[Neil Sloane]

Giovanni, Thank you very much for those results!

They are now in A271906 and A271907

Sometime, could you add more illustrations for them? Perhaps like the
lovely pictures with red dots that you made for A227133?


Best regards
Neil
