The three interns present their work done in August under the guidance of Efthymios Sofos.

We prove results on the probability for the conic  aX^^2+bY^^2=cZ^^2 to be solvable, where
a,b,c are odd natural numbers having a prescribed number of prime divisors and do not exceed x.
This work was motivated by a question raised in a recent paper of Nick Rome and Efthymios Sofos.
