+Project Euler Problem 234: https://projecteuler.net/problem=234
+
+For any integer n, consider the three functions
+
+f1,n(x,y,z) = x^(n+1) + y^(n+1) - z^(n+1)
+f2,n(x,y,z) = (xy + yz + zx)*(x^(n-1) + y^(n-1) - z^(n-1))
+f3,n(x,y,z) = xyz*(xn-2 + yn-2 - zn-2)
+
+and their combination
+
+fn(x,y,z) = f1,n(x,y,z) + f2,n(x,y,z) - f3,n(x,y,z)
+
+We call (x,y,z) a golden triple of order k if x, y, and z are all rational numbers
+of the form a / b with 0 < a < b ≤ k and there is (at least) one integer n,
+so that fn(x,y,z) = 0.
+
+Let s(x,y,z) = x + y + z.
+Let t = u / v be the sum of all distinct s(x,y,z) for all golden triples
+(x,y,z) of order 35.
+All the s(x,y,z) and t must be in reduced form.
+
+Find u + v.
+
+
+Solution:
+
+By expanding the brackets it is easy to show that
+fn(x, y, z) = (x + y + z) * (x^n + y^n - z^n).
+
+Since x,y,z are positive, the requirement fn(x, y, z) = 0 is fulfilled if and
+only if x^n + y^n = z^n.
+
+By Fermat's Last Theorem, this means that the absolute value of n can not
+exceed 2, i.e. n is in {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}. We can eliminate n = 0 since then the
+equation would reduce to 1 + 1 = 1, for which there are no solutions.
+
+So all we have to do is iterate through the possible numerators and denominators
+of x and y, calculate the corresponding z, and check if the corresponding numerator and
+denominator are integer and satisfy 0 < z_num < z_den <= 0. We use a set "uniquq_s"
+to make sure there are no duplicates, and the fractions.Fraction class to make sure
+we get the right numerator and denominator.
