Puzzle Description:

Triforce

The perfect symmetry of your puzzle made it a bit too easy to solve (I like it when puzzles fight back a little). I'd suggest making it a little less predictable by off-setting the image or adding some random space and/or lines. Thanks for the quick solve, though.

Looks like a Sierpinski triangle

I thought so, too.

It does indeed.

Someone is excited for the new Zelda!

The sierpinski triangle is great and shows up in many unexpected ways.

Here's one that is like the sierpinkski triangle, but not exactly. And it's made in a very interesting way. Take a Y (with all three arms at the same angle) and then add a Y at the end of each point. Then do it again. And again.

It's hard to imagine what it turns out like, but here's a simulator:

However, it simulates a lot of different types. To get this one, choose "A160120 - Y-toothpick" from the "Main Sequence" drop-down listbox. Then hit the "Run" button. The rendering slows down quite a bit around 120 iterations, but it's worth it to stay to 128 or even a little beyond.

I hand draw all of my Sierpinski Triangles this way:

smart!

Oh wow! So fascinating. Thanks, David.

Thanks Roisin
