It is now your throne, lul.

[Loopyla1]

4,960 triangles.
That's right, I took a whole 5 minutes to figure that out.
Pay up, Crock >:D

damn u loopyla ill get you!

400... There were over twice that many in the first layer alone (900 to be exact)

ok true nvm

[zenloth]

4,960 triangles.

Sounds quite low to me...
Think about it...
1 layer /\/\ 3 triangles there...

2 layers    /\/\     8 immediately but then you have the larger triangles which could be considered...
             /\/\/\

             /\
            /\/\   etc... Then multi dimensional, levels interior

I multiplied by the number of pyramids in each row by finding the area in square pyramids, then multiplying by 4 for each triangle. There are 15 rows in the first one.

900+784+676+576+484+400+324+256+196+144+100+64+36+16+4=4960
15    14    13   12   11   10    9      8     7      6     5    4    3   2  1

But then what about the triangle that cover multiple layers? obvious example 4 big ones which make up the entire thing? I don't think that calculation will cover it?

Ninja - And the upside down ones between square pyramids.

[Niliscro]

For something so simple, it's pretty damn neat.

Just double it, minus one layer.

9020 counting all the ones he intended and the upside ones.

Hehe, I will give 500$ to the one who can tell me how many triangles it has!
:D Im not gonna pay you...

First one = 680

last biggest one = 4961

I can tell this because the width of the smallest triangle is 15, which I multiplied by 15 to get all the triangles on that base. Then I subtracted 2 from 15 to get 13, which I multiplied by itself and added it to the previous product/sum.

500$ please.

The other answer for the biggest one was wrong because they didn't account for the top triangle.

Wrong.  There are WAY more triangles than that, there are 12 on each brick!

No there aren't.
