DAI 323 - Blog Exercise 8

This is my friend puzzle, where you have to see how many triangles you can count of all sizes. He had 36 counted and he was wrong there were a total of 44 triangles in this puzzles. He was kind of annoyed after about 30, because it got really confusing of which one got counted already.

This is my puzzle where as i wrote a little smaller but i also got lost around 30 triangle, here i only counted 30 triangles because of the confusion, it was just overwhelming for a person like me. I think Mckim's concepts of "finding" comes in big play in this puzzle. All you need is to find the triangles and use basic math to count up the triangles. It's really harder than it looks.

This is my puzzle where i just simple looked at the first one, then second, then the third, and i immediately noticed the style of pattern it is setting, McKim's "inverse drawing" came into mind, basically a mirror image of the object, and when i noticed that i noticed they were numbers so this one was quite an easy one.

This is my friends, he gave up after about 5 minutes because, i immediately found out the solution, and he was stuck there wondering and got frustrated, i ended up telling him what was going on in the puzzle and he eventually got it

It was very weird how oddly different minds function in better ways in different scenarios, this these puzzles, my friend did a lot better than i did with the triangle puzzle, but when the second puzzle came along, my brain just triggered it right away. It's awesome how visual concept of the brain works.
