to elaborate on my disputed edit previous edits stated correctly that 85 can be expressed as a sum of two squares in two ways, 85= 9^2 + 2^2 = 7^2 + 6^2; I added that is the "the lowest number that can be expressed as the sum of distinct, non trivial (>1) squares". Because this is what makes the previous point interesting - 50 is the lowest number that is the sum of 2 squares in 2 ways(25+25,49+1), 65 the lowest number the sum of two distinct squares in two ways(16+49,64+1), and 85 the lowest number that is the sum of two distinct, non trivial squares in two ways

The second point on length of the hypotenuse of 4 pythagorean triangles is separate (but similar enough to be in the same para) as it relate to the squares summing to the square of 85. I could list them and elaborated as to why this is (moderately) significant. Please don't do quick deletions of what is a serious edit - if not clear raise on talk pages.Marqaz (talk) 00:44, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
