Prove that there exist infinite many triples of consecutive integers each of which is a sum of two squares. For example: $8 = 2^2 + 2^2$, $9 = 3^2 + 0^2$, and $10=3^1 + 1^2$


Find all triangles whose sides are consecutive integers and areas are also integers.


Find all positive integers $k$, $m$ such that $k < m$ and

$$1+ 2 +\cdots+ k = (k +1) + (k + 2) +\cdots+ m$$

Prove that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $(n^2+1)$ divides $n!$.


Solve in integers the equation $x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 4xy$


Let $x$ be a positive real number, and $\lfloor{x}\rfloor$ be the largest integer that not exceeding $x$. Prove that there exist infinity number of positive integers, $n$, such that $\lfloor{\sqrt{2}}\ n\rfloor$ is a perfect square.


Show that there are infinitely many integers $n$ such that $2n + 1$ and $3n + 1$ are perfect squares, and that such $n$ must be multiples of $40$.


Show that the equation $x^2 + y^3 = z^4$ has infinitely many integer solutions.


Find all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $$\binom{n}{k-1} = 2 \binom{n}{k} + \binom{n}{k+1}$$

for some natural number $k < n$.


Prove that if $m=2+2\sqrt{28n^2 +1}$ is an integer for some $n\in\mathbb{N}$, then $m$ is a perfect square.


Prove that if the difference of two consecutive cubes is $n^2$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$, then $(2n-1)$ is a square.


If $n$ is an integer such that the values of $(3n+1)$ and $(4n+1)$ are both squares, prove that $n$ is a multiple of $56$.


Let $p$ be a prime. Prove that the equation $x^2-py^2 = -1$ has integral solution if and only if $p=2$ or $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$.


If $p$ is a prime of the form $4k+3$, show that exactly one of the equations $x^2-py^2=\pm 2$ has an integral solution.
