a=1; b=1;c=1;p=39;d=(a +2*b+ 4*c) *(4/a + 2/b + 1/c);if(d==36, goto6, goto7);printd, a, b, c;p=p-1;if(p>=1, goto4,0); a++;if(a<50, goto4, 0);a=1;b++;if(b<50, goto4, discard=0; a=1;b=1;c++;if(c<50, goto4, 0)

 

The minimum value =36 and x, y, z take on an infinite number of values. Here are just a few:
