    Enough silly polar bear problems.
    Here's a problem that requires a little more sophistication:

	The 3-4-5 triangle has integral area (area=6).
	The 13-14-15 triangle has integral area (area=84).
	Find all triangles with sides n-(n+1)-(n+2) that have
	integral area.  

        Note:  This isn't an elementary problem.
	I'll send the answer to anybody who wants it, and maybe even post 
	it . . .
