+
+! DESCRIPTION
+! -----------
+
+! Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following
+! formulae:
+!     Triangle     Tn = n(n + 1) / 2    1, 3,  6, 10, 15, ...
+!     Pentagonal   Pn = n(3n − 1) / 2   1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
+!     Hexagonal    Hn = n(2n − 1)       1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...
+
+! It can be verified that T285 = P165 = H143 = 40755.
+
+! Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal.
+
+
+! SOLUTION
+! --------
+
+! All hexagonal numbers are also triangle numbers, so iterate through hexagonal
+! numbers until you find one that is pentagonal as well.
