Draw a line around the edge; then how many outlines of triangles can you find in the pattern Question

HINT: The triangles can be different sizes. Obviously all lines join.

I don't know, at least 34, most likely more (just a guess, but at least I tried....which should count for something Laughing )

While I am waiting for inspiration, how about you take 11 coins (of the same size) and lay them out thus:

…..O
….OO
…OOO
….OO
…OOO

With each coin neatly fitting together.

Now, draw a closed chain of five straight lines through the centers of all 11 coins Question
using the same #s as thoh
How about draw through 1, 2 & 4 extending the line all the way down to 9. Then draw through 9, 10 & 11 extending the line past 11 so it is under 6, 3 & 1 drawing through those. Bring the line back from 1 to 3 and draw through 3, 5, 7 & 9. Then bring the line across to 10 and draw the line through 10, 8 & 6. The rules didn't state that you can't draw over a line already drawn. That should give you 5 straight closed lines.

TTH you have a unique mind; first construct a triangular box then fill it in. I would never had thought of that!

Ok! Now try to achieve the same result; WITHOUT removing pen from paper. Only five straight lines Question

I didn't remove the pen from the paper. I just re-drew over the line that was already there.

I have no idea. She always seems to be talking in riddles. Maybe that's why she likes the riddle thread. Laughing

Yep, she has had several names......

It's funny how you can tell who has duplicate log on names from the style of their writing. Example Try-Tryst :wink: Laughing
