Wait, what game are we playing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have internet prob , wait i am typing

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ah i remember that :) was fun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the number of integral points which lie on or inside the circle \[\huge x^2 +y^2 = 4 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just drop a hint if possible maybe i could solve it on my own

OpenStudy (kainui):

Have you heard of pythagorean triples?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Mmmm maybe this is a stupid question... what are integral points? A point in which both coordinates are integers?

OpenStudy (kainui):

I guess I had just assumed that integral points were just points that were integers like (1,-1) but honestly I don't know now that you mention it @zepdrix I would probably just graph the circle on paper and check all the points inside. I guess "pythagorean triples" don't matter since we don't need the hypotenuse to be integers as well... Or do we?
