  • I'm not often great at these, but I make it 144 triangles. Most of the triangles are made up of at least 2 or 3 triangles, but some of the "top smallest" triangles aren't actually triangles. I might be way out, but if we're counting all of the smallest triangles within the triangles too, there are more than 34.

    Cheers for posting, dude - as ever!

  • Anna Windass or Rana Nazir for Puzzle 32 answer 5? Could be either.
  • ... or if it's just the one triangle that has been copied and coloured in ... we're making it 36 ... :huh:

    Yes it is just the top left picture that is printed in the mag with the question "How many triangles?" The orange/red are just my copies filled in to show how I got to 34.

    Using the pic above with numbered nodes, the 11 "single unit" triangles are pretty obvious (the 12th single unit is four-sided)
    Taking my original post the nodes used are:
    Pic 2 - 9,11,12 & 8,11,12
    Pic 3 - 6,8,9 & 5,8,9
    Pic 4 - 8,9,11 & 8,9,12
    Pic 5 - 1,9,11 & 1,8,12
    Pic 6 - 5,9,11 & 6,8,12
    Pic 7 - 5,6,8 & 5,6,9
    Pic 8 - 2,6,8 & 4,5,9
    Pic 9 - 1,6,8 & 1,5,9
    Pic 10 - 4,5,6 & 2,5,6
    Pic 11 - 1,4,5 & 1,2,6
    Pic 12 - 1,5,6
    Pic 13 - 1,8,9
    Pic 14 - 1,11,12

    There are 220 possible combinations of 3 from 12 nodes, but for example 1,6,10 is not a triangle in the picture.
    If you believe I have missed any triangles, please let us know the node numbers for these.

    E. Cara Delavigne & Daisy Ridley
    F. Mel Gibson & Bradley Cooper

    Just to check - when trying to enter online, it says the closing date for all entries was 21 December 2017 - is this an error? http://www.loveitmagazine.co.uk/love-it-magazine-issue-615-16-competitions/

    FWIW, I agree with raspberryfluff's suggestions - for B, I didn't think Angelina Jolie had eyebrows that big, but turns out she does now. I think this is the pic they used - https://peopledotcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/angelina-jolie-7.jpg?crop=0px%2C573px%2C2000px%2C1051px&resize=1200%2C630

    And in case correct spelling matters, it's Cara Delevingne :)

    The end date is as given in the magazine. The date given on the website is probably just another love it! error.

    EDIT: I've checked in the mag, and the end date is close of business tomorrow.
