ok lets work together

http://tfptfp.grindhard.com/math/math.html

if you have a square divide in to quadrants. Label the sides a,b,c,d and each quadrant I,II,III,IV.

there are 8 parts of this square where points can go, A1,A2,B2,B3,C3,C4,D4,D1.

three points in 8 possible parts = 512 (8^3) possible combinations [ie; (a1, d4, c3) would make a right triangle].

since it would take a while to go thru every point and test it, we simply have to figure out where it does work because that would be less than where it doesn't.
