Excellent work parseljc!
Obviously this is a problem that spans the decades. Now someone just needs to email
anabolik back in 2002:
"if you solve this, please email me at
Yahoo!..."
Hopefully anabolik wasn't on a short deadline or anything. This is like math archeology. Drudging up ancient society's math problems and solving them. Hmmm... i'm seeing a TV show in the making.

Hopefully at this point you are left with only 1 possible pair, and that is your solution. (4,13)
