    Recall we say that a Pythagorean triple is a triplet of positive integers a, b and c such that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Examples are (3,4,5) and (5,12,13). Explain why for any Pythagorean triplet one must have that 12 divides abc. (Hint: It may be easiest to do this by showing that 3 divides abc and showing separately that 4 divides abc).

    Suppose that we have two unsorted lists of integers A and B. The lists are the same size, n. a) Write an algorithm that outputs how many integers occur in both lists. An integer occurs at most once in each given list. For example: if A = [1,2,5,7,13,19] and B = [2,9,13,14,19,22], then we can see that elements {2, 13, 19} occur in both lists, so the output will be 3. b) If the lists were sorted, say how we...
