Rectangle Rule...booyah




The rectangle looks like a diamond in the picture above, but depending on how skewed your triangle looks in the first place, it can look like a rectangle. It is basically the sum of many hockey sticks.

For example, 126=70+35+15+5+1 (hockey stick rule). However, 70 can be expanded into the sum 35+20+10+4+1 (hockey stick again). Then 35=15+10+6+3+1, and so on. We continue with this process until we come to the point where 5+1+1+1+1+1, and we are unable to expand any further. Ohhhhhhhhhh ya.
