Problem
For how many integral values of 
can a triangle of positive area be formed having side lengths 
?
Solution
The lower bound for x would be x=4, where the sides of the triangle would be (2,1,3). The upper bound for x would be x=4, where the sides of the triangle would be (6,3,3). The number of integers strictly between 4 and 64 is 64 - 4 - 1 = 59
