    \$\begingroup\$ Can you clarify how 2, 14, 10 is not a solution? \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday

    \$\begingroup\$ @Ajax1234 All the additional solutions you find: 2, 14, 10 , 1,7,5 etc. have one thing in common: the x and y coordinates of the intersection are equal, and both chords are split equally. These solutions are in some sense trivial. I understood "a diagonal cannot be a solution m+n<2r" to mean "a diameter cannot be a solution" but it seems the intent may indeed have been to exclude solutions where the intersection falls on a diagonal as well as ones where a chord is a diameter. I will wait for OP response but that's the only way I can explain the test cases. \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday
  • \$\begingroup\$ @LevelRiverSt Thank you very much, that makes sense \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday
  • \$\begingroup\$ According to your last edit, we should only exclude chords that are diameters. But something like (m,n,r)=(1,7,5) (with CS=BS) now looks valid. For X=100, I believe this would lead to 74 solutions instead of 37. \$\endgroup\$ Commented 20 hours ago
