Diophantine quadruples are sets of four distinct positive integers such that the product of any two is one less than a square. All known examples belong to an infinite set which can be constructed recursively. Some observations on these regular solutions are presented. In particular we see how factors of the four numbers satisfy relations which generalise the Stern-Brocot Tree. There is also an update on the search for rational Diophantine sextuples with five new examples.
