We did some statistics about the 14 million good abc triples below 10^18 taken from Bart de Smith site. This was examining just the top of the iceberg, since the interesting triples grow very likely well above 10^18. We were interested in $\#\{(a,b,c) :a \le c^\alpha\}$ for real $\alpha$, as $a,b,c$ are taken from the good triples, assuming $a < b$. Here are the numbers: alpha , #a<=c^alpha in percents 0 (a=1) 0.31 1/4 2.38 1/2 11.75 3/4 38.59 9/10 70.34 The arithmetic mean of $\log{a}/\log{c}$ is 75.894%, which is very close to $3/4$. We did the same computation for the 234 (give or take few) high quality triples (quality > 1.4) and the data is: 0 4.27 1/4 16.24 1/2 35.47 3/4 68.38 9/10 91.03 The arithmetic mean of $\log{a}/\log{c}$ is 58%. Can we get some heuristic arguments about the distribution of good abc triples?
