    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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...

    15 is a big number of triangles to make from 10 balls... anyone knows how to get this many?
