I'm not sure n is always an integer with that set of solutions, TheDude.
It's a good way of reformulating the problem though.

Sorry if you were responding to a post from bobby that's been deleted, but it looks like you were addressing me.

C'mon guys give me a break. I don't have a deleted post here. I didn't get far enough into this problem to have anything to delete.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
