Comments on finding rational points The rank of the Jacobian is 2. We construct a family of etale double covers, but one of these maps to an elliptic curve of rank 1. We construct an etale four-fold cover over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$ that maps to an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$ and use elliptic curve Chabauty.
