Sway back and 53 tea bags.
We trust ya, Will!54
54 stamped letters from the Roman alphabet on GEC steel. Amid a myriad of Cyrillic letters, want to count them too?
I love Algebra! BUT where is the knife in that Domino 55?John's diagram of the 10th triangular number, showing that 1+2+3+...+9+10 = 55, is related to my double-9 set of dominoes!
The domino set has 10 pieces with at least one 9: 9/0 9/1 9/2 ... 9/9 (corresponding to the bottom row in John's triangular array).
There are 9 additional dominoes with 8 being the bigger number on them: 8/0 8/1 ... 8/8 (corresponding to the next row up in John's diagram).
The pattern continues with 8 dominoes having 7 as their bigger number, 7 dominoes with 6 as bigger set of dots on them, ..., 2 pieces with the bigger set of dots being 1 (1/0 1/1), and finally 1 double-0 domino (corresponding to the top row in John's stack).
Anyway, now we can see WHY the box claims there are 55 dominoes in the double-nine set!

In the box?I love Algebra! BUT where is the knife in that Domino 55?
I been waiting to post my 56...I have to go somewhere!I love Algebra! BUT where is the knife in that Domino 55?
Good one Pythagoras!
As a former English major, I'll take your word for it!
