      Round 321 half-answer...

      Here is a little picture from Charlie showing how Gwendoline gets her 15 bananas before Barry comes along.

      So now you just have to decide which 4 balls does Gwendoline remove to keep her 11 bananas...

        • erm, R.330: more triangles

          Start out with an equilateral triangle and partition it first into 4 smaller equilateral triangles and then add three more straight lines (preferably equidistant) from one of the apex(/ic)es to the opposite base.

          Now count all possible triangles in the resulting figure.

          Please put your bids up on the thread. Highest bidder can later show the respective triangles.

                    • 34 is very good, but if I didn't miscount, one can find even more

                            I was afraid you were going to say that. Ok, this might take a minute...

                            Edit: Just realised two of my 37 weren't triangles . 35 so far then, I'll see if I can find one more.

                            • I am impressed!
                              Can I give that the best attachment prize in this thread?

                              All looking good, except the two lower outside 'triangles' in the first 'slide'/'still'?
                              edit: lol, you are fast! OK, try! I got your 35 as well.

                              • Can't see any more, think I might've miscounted last night (or counted some 4/5 sided triangles). My bid stands at 35 then, I'll repost that attachment after a bit of snooker (brother's calling) if no one wants to advance on that.
