Thanks Brent for the prompt reply!

Can you tell me why in this question you somehow followed the same approach I did that led to multiple counting?

In that question (https://www.beatthegmat.com/og-13-coordi ... 57190.html), the first point we select (point P) is the point where our right angle is. So, that's a very specific point.
So, there's no danger of duplication if point P is where the right angle must be.

Cheers,
Brent
