hey wait a minute there are 15 triangles in this image, not 9 >:/

wait arent there 17? maybe im taking too many liberties

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see 19. Are you counting the two large black triangles in the top corners?

[–] frigidaphelion 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was not! Good eye

edit: I could see an argument that those two triangles are a consequence of the format of the image and are not quite the same as the other 17 which are part of the fractal structure. For example if we drew the central triangles on a large piece of paper then there would only be 17 and not 19

You are correct. The next image wouldn't be able to keep the 3x proportions it implies. Following the same pattern, we went from 5 triangles (the top segment) to 17.

I wonder at how many triangles will there be a Saddam Hussein in the picture
