Question 9.
In the mythical land of Smullyana, trolls always speak lies before they reach the age of 10, but once 10 or older, they always tell the truth. Also, it is customary to only discuss ages using whole numbers of years (nobody would ever claim to be 12 and a half).   While walking in a forest in Smullyana, you meet four trolls.  Poppy says "I am not yet 8 years old. Cooper is the same age as either Branch or me.”  Branch says “My age is at most two years more than Poppy’s age.”  Cooper says “If I am older than Poppy, I am the same age as Branch.”  Biggie says, “Either I am less than 10, or else I am as old as Poppy, Branch, and Cooper combined.”  How old is Biggie?

Question 10.
There is exactly one way to fill in the circles with three distinct positive integers so that the sum of each pair is a perfect square and the sum of all three numbers is less than 68.  Find the sum of the three numbers in this case.
