      here's how to solve it, you need a computer and a bit of cleverness https://ami.uni-eszterhazy.hu/uploads/papers/finalpdf/AMI_43_from29to41.pdf

      I think so, I think you could easily iterate this with python

        not so easy to iterate as the smallest solution is three integers that are 80+ digits long, would take a SERIOUSLY long time

          oh i thought the solution wouldn't go past 6 digits lol

            Brute forcing 80 digits is about equivalent to brute forcing AES 256, except you're brute forcing 240 digits because you have to hit all 3 at once, so it's even worse than AES 256
