Let a, b, and c¹ be positive integers such that a² + b² = c² and a ≤³ b.

1. Other choices for variable names include:
   x, y, and z
   m, n, and p
   p, q, and r
   α, β, and γ
   o (Latin o), ο (Greek omicron), and о (Cyrillic o) (DON'T USE THESE)

2. Are these exponents or footnotes? 🤔

3. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_relations to get an idea of what ≤³ means. However, since ≤ is reflexive and transitive, that doesn't matter anyway.

just had an interesting idea: what if i got several people to tie me up and shoot me to death
