# Problem: Given a square 5x5 grid of points, find five circles that together pass through all 25 points.
# There are 21 essentially different solutions. Two solutions are considered the same if they differ only
# by a rotation or reflection. This script finds all of these solutions.
# The solutions are rendered graphically at http://www.gotmath.com/doc/fivecircles.html

# This Python 2.7 script solves the following probability problem:

#    If 20 distinct positive integers are chosen from the range 1 - 80
#    (without replacement) what is the probability that their sum is 810?

# List the numbers n such that the digits of the square of n
# can be rearranged to form exactly two other squares. 
# For example, 13 belongs to list because 13*13 = 169, and 
# the digits of 169 can be rearranged to form the squares 196 
# (= 14*14) and 961 (= 31*31); but no other squares can be formed 
# by rearranging the digits of 169.
