Problem 45: https://projecteuler.net/problem=45
Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following formulae:
Triangle T(n) = (n * (n + 1)) / 2 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...
Pentagonal P(n) = (n * (3 * n 1)) / 2 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
Hexagonal H(n) = n * (2 * n 1) 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...
It can be verified that T(285) = P(165) = H(143) = 40755.
Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal.
All trinagle numbers are hexagonal numbers.
T(2n-1) = n * (2 * n - 1) = H(n)
So we shall check only for hexagonal numbers which are also pentagonal.
