Soloman’s Temple attempts to reach 32 triangles

 I am still in pursuit of the perfect Soloman’s Temple game of just 32 pieces……wish me luck…..lets start with The Other One of the Pair game which gives us 16 triangles showing half of the 64 DNA Codons and if you flip it over the other side will be its opposite of another 16 triangles thus together 32 triangles. The problem is getting into the first set of 16 triangles and trying to add another colour or letter to the mix….

Here we see 16 triangles and where the line around it is black you cannot add anything here without making a duplication. The lines marked with pink squiggles is a position something could be added but at this point of the game it is impossible to add either C T G or A without once again making a duplication. So lets open it out a little and see if that helps….

Here we have opened it up a little but where black lines are shown there is still no way to add a triangle without duplication. Then we look to the areas of possibility with the pink squiggle and again neither C< T< G or A can be added without duplications. So lets open it out some more…

Again the black lines are no go areas and Pinks have possibilities but still no matter where we try to add one triangle we create a duplications so the only thing we can do is break it down further and hopefully find somewhere to start adding more triangles. 

The easiest way is to break the set in half and try to add to it in order to expand…..

Even when adding extras to the middle portion it is still difficult to add the set…..

As you can see many more changes have to come before we can make up a game of 34 triangles. As yet still not been able to reduce it any further. I shall keep trying. Enjoy your thinking x
