::Paddy, I suspect there may be a problem with the expression: int(c2**0.5) which occurs 3 times in your Python entry. If the power function produces a value which is slightly less than the 'correct' integer value, then the 'int' function will round it down and the wrong tuple will be added to the set.
 
::I'd see if you get a different answer for the extra credit if you use instead: int(round(c2**0.5)). --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 14:46, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
