The 96% doesn't say what number they came up with, does it? I think many people forget that there are three more medum sized triangles within (combining 4 smaller) or one large one (combining all 9 small ones), all easily overlooked.

I'm broke and can't afford to pay attention, so you might have to lend me an ear.

Michael: That's where I initially paused, seeing ten triangles, and then while still looking I realized that within the makeup of those smaller triangles were three more larger triangles.... So, I'm still hoping there are only 13....

As you guys all know our little community is slow this time of year. I think stuff like this is great fun.
In Spring it would not get much attention.
