Megoldás. Az 1+…+n=5995 egyenlet megoldására van szükségünk: $\frac{(n+1)n}{2}=5995$ , ebből n²+n-11990=0, vagyis $n=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1+47960}}{2}=\frac{-1\pm219}{2}$ . A negatív megoldás nem jó, tehát n=109. A háromszög egy oldalán így 109+3=112 rácspont van. A 112+112+112 összegben a csúcsokban levőket kétszer számoljuk, így a határvonalon összesen 333 rácspont van.
