We explore the intriguing class of integral‑sided triangles whose orthocenter and circumcenter stand in a precise one‑to‑two relationship at a vertex, using the 6‑7‑8 example as our anchor. We’ll define S_P, show how small cases like S_10 rise to S_100, and tackle the monumental S_107 (perimeters up to 10,000,000). The episode blends elegant geometry with heavy computation, discussing the algorithms and number‑theoretic ideas needed to sift billions of candidates and what such a search reveals about the choreography between shape and numbers, guided by a diagram and the paper Fortunate Triangles, Orthocenter and Circumcenter Distances.
