Given $N$ instances $(X_1,t_1),\ldots,(X_N,t_N)$ of Subset Sum, the AND Subset Sum problem asks to determine whether all of these instances are yes-instances; that is, whether each set of integers $X_i$ has a subset that sums up to the…

We show that if one can solve 3SUM on a set of size n in time n^{1+\e} then one can list t triangles in a graph with m edges in time O(m^{1+\e}t^{1/3-\e/3}). This is a reversal of Patrascu's reduction from 3SUM to listing triangles (STOC…
