    In response to a question raised by Ron Graham relating to restricted compass constructions in the plane, \textit{M. Newman} [Aequationes Math. 2, 163-166 (1969; Zbl 0174.086)] exhibited all rational solutions \((x,y;r)\) to the equation \(\sin \pi x \sin\pi y=r\). Newman later considered the more general equation \(\prod^ n_{j=1}\sin \pi x_ j=r\), where \(r\) is a given positive rational number and the solutions \(x_ j\) are rational, and showed that for fixed \(n\) the problem of finding all rational solutions reduces to a finite computation. This paper exhibits all solutions when \(n=3\) and \(n=4\).
