There is one, but it has a different exponent to 2. I'd have to find it out, although if you searched on the internet, I suspect a site would have the pythagorean records there already done.


EDIT - here you go: http://www.imarc.net/examples/pythagorean_wins/

the exponent is 2.37 if anyone's interested.
