This is a smart solution that is not cheating the system.

Yeah, I know this is cheating, taking advantage of the limited test suite. I just wanted to see what the other small scores were about.

Fifth test cannot be true because 3.5^2 = 12.25

how can this be a leading solution?? Are all the cody problems like this?

this would fail on assert(isequal(isTherePythagoreanTriple(1,4,7,9),false))
