    Well done to Charlie and Nicholas – the answer was 27 – You can both have 5 housepoints!

    If you look closely you will be able to see:
    16 small triangles
    7 medium triangles (made up of 4 smaller ones)
    3 large triangles (made up of 9 smaller ones)
    and the outline of the whole shape – an even bigger triangle! That’s 27 in total!

    This challenge is now over – why not have a go at the new one?
