Abstract
a2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 = abcd
a2 + b2 + c 2 + d 2 = abcd?
a2 + b2 + c 2 + d 2 = abcd
a2 − 2abcd + (bcd)2 + b2 + c 2 + d 2 = abcd − 2abcd + (bcd)2
(a − bcd)2 + b2 + c 2 + d 2 = −abcd + (bcd)2
= (bcd − a)bcd
2 2 2 2
⇒ (bcd − a) + b + c + d = (bcd − a)bcd
and
a0 = bcd − a
or equivalently,
an = bcd − an−1
a1 = bcd − a0
a2 = bcd − bcd + a0
= a0
a3 = bcd − a0

x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = u2 + v 2?
32 + 42 = 52 ,
We see that the left side has one more term than the right and
that the terms form a sequence of consecutive integers, each of
which is squared, i.e.,
For example if we want 10 terms on the right side our first term
on the left would be
n2 = [k (2k + 1)]2
= [10(2(10) + 1)]2
= 2102
yielding,
2102 + 2112 + 2122 + 2132 + 2142 + 2152 + 2162 + 2172 + 2182 + 2192 + 2202
= 2212 + 2222 + 2232 + 2242 + 2252 + 2262 + 2272 + 2282 + 2292 + 2302 = 508585
and I was flooded with replies, and requests for hints, and a
solution.

Remark
Returning to
x y z
+ + = 4
y +z z +x x +y
y 2 = x 3 + ax 2 + bx + c,
we get
t 3 + 109t 2 + 224t − u 2
= 0
−t + u + 56
⇒ u 2 = t 3 + 109t 2 + 224t
an elliptic curve.
x = (56 − t + u)
y = (56 − t − u)
z = 2(−28 − 6t)
