Solution
The equation of the circle is 
. Plugging in the given conditions we have 
. Expanding gives: 
, which simplifies to
and therefore
and 
. So ranges from 
to 
, for a total of 
integer values.
Note by Williamgolly:
Alternatively, draw out the circle and see that these points must be on the line 
.
