The first one is too easy also. Its a mirror

[Neo]

If you guys want to submit your answers tonight instead of tomorrow, that's perfectly fine. If you miss something though you won't be able to correct it.

Alright both tribes seem to be having no probs with these questions, so here are some additional questions. If both tribes are correct then the one which comes up with the answers first will win immunity.

What word, expression, or name is depicted below?

What is the smallest integer which can be expressed as a sum of two squares three different ways? The answer is less than 500.

Are "2 +4" and "4+2" different ways?

EDIT: On a similar note... Can I use "2 + 4 + 4" assuming both 2 and 4 were squares?

[Neo]

No. That is a hard one.

You will have the sum of different squares, so x^2 + y^2 = z^2 + a^2 = some number, for example.

And finally, do the numbers like X and Y have to be integers?


for example... (0.5 ^ (1/2)) ^2 would equal 0.5. Is it acceptable?
