We call the convex area enclosed by two circles a lenticular hole if:
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
The centres of both circles are on lattice points.
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
The two circles intersect at two distinct lattice points.
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
The interior of the convex area enclosed by both circles does not contain any lattice points.

Consider the circles: C0: x2+y2=25 C1: (x+4)2+(y-4)2=1 C2: (x-12)2+(y-4)2=65
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
The circles C0, C1 and C2 are drawn in the picture below.
C0 and C1 form a lenticular hole, as well as C0 and C2.

We call an ordered pair of positive real numbers (r1, r2) a lenticular pair if there exist two circles with radii r1 and r2 that form a lenticular hole. We can verify that (1, 5) and (5, √65) are the lenticular pairs of the example above.
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
Let L(N) be the number of distinct lenticular pairs (r1, r2) for which 0 < r1 ≤ r2 ≤ N. We can verify that L(10) = 30 and L(100) = 3442.
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
Find L(100 000).

`euler295()` should return 4884650818.
