Normally I regard this game as a harmless bit of fun. But when I watched this report about Flight 1103, Libya's worst-ever aviation disaster, I thought differently. It was exactly four years and one day after the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie.

1105 is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of two squares in four different ways (see https://oeis.org/A016032):

33^2 + 4^2 = 1089 + 16 = 1105
32^2 + 9^2 = 1024 + 81 = 1105
31^2 + 12^2 = 961 + 144 = 1105
24^2 + 23^2 = 576 + 529 = 1105

Ever been stuck at Arnos Grove on a Full Network Challenge? I was five years (and one day) ago. All I could do was gaze up to the main road that the station is situated on. It's the A1110.
