    This document proposes an alternate solution to Problem 2 by showing that for the equation a2 - 3a - 19 = 289m to have integer solutions for a and m, the discriminant must be a perfect square, but the discriminant is of the form 85 + 342m which cannot be a perfect square since 17 divides the discriminant but 172 does not.

    Alternate Solution to Problem 2.

    In order that a2 3a 19 = 289m for some integers a, m, it is necessary that the discriminant = 9 4(19 + 289m) = 85 + 342 m be a perfect square. But since 17 | while 172 , this is impossible.
