A [i]super-integer[/i] triangle is defined to be a triangle whose lengths of all sides and at least
one height are positive integers. We will deem certain positive integer numbers to be [i]good[/i] with
the condition that if the lengths of two sides of a super-integer triangle are two (not necessarily
different) good numbers, then the length of the remaining side is also a good number. Let $5$ be
a good number. Prove that all integers larger than $2$ are good numbers.
