We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we create them.

Re: Pretty Diophantine Equation
The only solution is $(21,28)$.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Re: Pretty Diophantine Equation
Note that the equation can be rewritten as $m_2^2 + 8n_3^2 = 41n_3$, where $x = 7\times 7\times 2\times m_2$ and $y = 7\times 7\times 2\times 2\times n_3$, which gives the only solution when $(m_2, n_3) = (6,4) \Rightarrow (x,y) = (588,784)$

The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence.
