Soloman’s Temple and Attempts to reduce it to 32 Triangles


 Here we see two sets of the game The Other One of the Pair………..both contain 16 triangles one is the under reading of the other so all 64 codons of DNA appear between them, or with just one set if you set them up on glass and could read the underside.  I presumed that the game Solomans Temple which I have only managed to create in 34 triangles at the last count could be joined together and perhaps create a game of 32 for Solomans Temple. As you can see it looks simple enough to find a way in to connect without creating a duplication but no I have yet to find it. 


Here we see both sets that together give us 64 codons of DNA the gold lines denote areas where if you add a triangle it will duplicate itself so thats a no no. The purple dots are where you could add a new triangle but not without duplicating again. So as you can see there is no way in to join the pair so the only thing you can do is remove a triangle and try to reconnect them that way. So far I have failed and it still seems it is impossible to create a Soloman’s Temple game with less than 34 triangles. That said I remember for years thinking Soloman’s Temple could not be made up of less than 36 triangles.  So I will continue to try.

The I Ching is The One which becomes 2 then 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 so in my mind I do not feel happy to settle on the number 34 being the least amount of triangles needed to create Soloman’s Temple of 64 codons, somehow its just not the right number to associate with DNA. So I will keep trying, wish me luck.
