-- 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(3n1)/2 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
-- Hexagonal H[n]=n(2n1) 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.
