3rd, October, 2025 Soloman’s Temple Game of 34

The Other One of the Pair....

Here we have the small game of Solomans Temple this can produce ALL 64 codons of DNA within its pattern provided you turn the game over and see the other missing codons. Imagine it is placed on glass and you can see it from the top and from underneath then you could make all 64 codons of DNA out of this pattern.

Now if I want to add the missing codons to this particular pattern and see all the codons on top of the pattern then I would have to find a way in to add more triangles but if you look at this pattern X marks the points where you cannot add anything without reproducing a codon that already exists. Take the top left hand side we have green A blue C and G Yellow on the top row. If we added any other triangle to the C position it would create codons that can already be found in the pattern. The only way to increase the pattern is to remove a triangle and start from there. 

This image shows both sides of a 16 pattern if only I could get the pattern to work together and create a game of Soloman’s Temple with just 32 pieces but unfortunately I have played constantly without success and 34 is currently the minimum amount of triangles I can use to create a pattern that shows all 64 codons. 

I feel that if 16 completes half then 32 should be possible to complete the whole. I will keep trying but until I succeed here is another game of 34 the best I have achieved so far. 

This is a completed game of 34 parts showing gold dots are places where triangles can be added if they were required and the X shows points where nothing can be added without creating more than one of a codon. 

Enjoy your thinking and I will continue to try to reduce this game. It took me 12 years of happily playing the game having reduced it to 36 and once a game of 34 was produced of course I now try to reduce to 32 and it may take me another 12 years but at least no matter how difficult it used to be to make 34 I now find that count easy so time will tell.
