oh you forgot my favorite!
6 - 8 - 10
and also, there is
2 - 5 - ~4.5 (use a jumper plate)
as shown here:

BTW, thanks for posting these! I always wondered about them... I did a graph at
home and extended it out to 13x13.. but the math just got too tedious after
that (i was doing everything by hand).
oops. just let everyone know i'm a total math geek.

That is just a multiple of 3 - 4 - 5 (I thought it was obvious that the
given table contains the reduced ones only :-)

A typical "near miss", this one is only off by 0.0755710991019 units.

O.k, especially for the devotee: here is a table containing the first 1593
reduced integer Pythagorean triple solutions, and some other raw data
figures associated with the solutions as well:

Nothing to be ashamed of, particulary not in this comunity :-)
