  1. sushma's post in All primes was marked as the answer   
    2 5 and 7
  2. sushma's post in Who is wrong ? was marked as the answer   
    statement given by jemmy :  b*b + c*c = (a+b)^2  is incorrect.
    initially lets assume that Leon's statement is correct :     a*b*c = 12 * c
    That means  a * b = 12
    which means there are following possible values of a  & b
    a = 6  b = 2 or a = 2 b = 6
    or
    a = 4 b = 3 or a = 3 b = 4
    now take a = 6 and b = 2 then 
    from   Claudy's statement   2*a*b = c + 2*b  => c = 20 
    and on using  Thomas's statement : 30*d = 6*b*c => d = 8
    and  Richard's  statement :  a+b+c+d = a*a => 6 + 2 + 20 + 8 = 6 * 6 => 36 = 36
    only  Jemmy's statement :  b*b + c*c = (a+b)^2 is not satisfying this values.
    so jemmy's statement is incorrect.
