"""Thi is Problem 45 of ProjectEuler

Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following formulae:

Triangle                Tn=n(n+1)/2             1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...
Pentagonal              Pn=n(3n-1)/2             1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ...
Hexagonal               Hn=n(2n-1)               1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...
It can be verified that T285 = P165 = H143 = 40755.

Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal."""
