Puzzle 19: The Great Pyramids [Audio/Video; English + Text]
Uhm! In case anybody's been looking for me or the Professor, we've moved in with Mr. Winterstorm now! I sure am glad too! Latimir's an awful mess from what I've seen.... Amazing it's still stable, don't you think?
Oh, speaking of stability! Did you know that a triangle is the most stable shape? I think my papa told me that once, but the professor explained it earlier too. Weird huh? We always make our buildings out of squares instead. I bet that's why the pyramids in Egypt have lasted so long! Haha!
[LONG... THOUGHTFUL... PAUSE.]
Oh, hey! That just reminded me of a puzzle! Uhm [he dashes off, a few minutes later the video feed turns on to show THIS picture of the large triangle and little triangle.] I think... yea!
Alright, here I drew two triangle! One large and one small!
If you dip a fountain pen into the ink once, you'll have enough ink to draw the four triangles like in the little square!!
So, with that in mind, how many times do you have to dip your pen in the ink in order to
draw the big triangle! There's thirty six triangles in the big one, [He holds the feed still, and with his hand writes beside each triangle how many little triangles make it up. The puzzles is transcribed later in Text]
((ooc:
Here are two shapes, one large and one
small. Each is made up of little triangles.
Dipping your fountain pen into the ink one
time gives you just enough ink to draw
four little triangles#x, as depicted by the shape
on the left.
So, with that in mind, how many times do
you have to dip your pen in the ink in order to
draw the shape on the right that's made up of
36 triangles?
If you want to know the answer, you have to IM me--KEHKEHKEH... or... just read other threads, haha))
