Reason: Asy
Reason: Asy
lattice points (i.e. has coordinates ranging from 
to 
)
lattice point (i.e. has coordinates ranging from 
)
,
and 
for some positive integer 
.
lattice points since they share 
lattice points of the form 
.![\[t^2 = \frac{r^2 + s^2 - s}{4} = \frac{13x^2 - 2x}{4}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/c/4/fc4ae53b2d489a26b13843529f2daaecfff7018b.png)
and so:![\[13x^2 - 2x = 4t^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/a/c/8ac5a8b441d2bae80fc97d93c942c9c5938bfd53.png)
Since the right hand side is even, 
is even, and so we can write 
for some integer ![\[52y^2 - 4y = 4t^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/4/2/e425485796440f591b8ab28cd66677ec5881f23d.png)
![\[13y^2 - y = y(13y - 1) = t^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/3/e/63ee5a94b3c8502a2382b770917e7f36070f534f.png)
But by the Euclidean algorithm, 
are relatively prime, and so both ![\[y = m^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/a/f/1af351f43ddedd512c7184c859f3c06899d742c1.png)
![\[13y - 1 = 13m^2 - 1 = n^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/a/8/ca82753b7e4bfd38438e0b728024c0d83b299c5c.png)
Suppose that the top left corner of 
.
.![\[\frac{|S \cap T|}{|S|} = 27 \cdot \frac{|R \cap T|}{|R|}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/6/6/766a454e168dc6d4a641899975557ffe3b00c223.png)
where 
denotes the number of lattice points in a region 
.![\[\frac{k \cdot t}{s^2} = 27 \cdot \frac{(t - k + 1) \cdot t}{r^2}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/0/2/202c443c7dba6554cca4168a193724a693f5bf97.png)
Cross-multiplying, we get:![\[k \cdot t \cdot r^2 = 27 \cdot (t - k + 1) \cdot t \cdot s^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/6/2/a624b4117c01383bedffb06e29fd3507d8309c69.png)
Simplifying and using 
,![\[9 \cdot k = (t - k + 1) \cdot 4 \cdot 27\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/0/f/c0f98e5d34ac5ba3cf03f5def675ad46ba77d95b.png)
![\[12 \cdot (t - k + 1) = k\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/2/4/f248b6d164f1c15e457dc392151474c0f35875df.png)
![\[12 \cdot (t + 1) = 13k\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/7/6/c76f38c04724afbdd7aa6cb2e11640898654ba3a.png)
Therefore, for any 
,
.![\[y(13y - 1) \equiv -y \equiv t^2 \equiv 1 \pmod{13}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/a/4/da427eea26324c6193ab7d249f2a52de8740b500.png)
and so 
.
,![\[m^2 + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{13}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/3/c/43c89990cea60fa78cdb38188ab5a657c04cd427.png)
and that 
is a perfect square. The smallest 
satisfying both conditions is 
.![\[y = m^2 = 25\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/0/6/806eef5119615591ba80797a650f109097659b6f.png)
![\[x = 2y = 50\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/9/d/b9deb69882dd10a43c4437f9116e6a3eaf4f7db7.png)
and so 
,
,
,
,![\[(r - 1) + (s - 1) + (t - 1) = 150 + 100 + 90 - 3 = 340 - 3 = 337\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/c/2/5c294416cabb27240c17e09203bf3076311d4d3c.png)
