The 15 puzzle (also called Gem Puzzle, Boss Puzzle, Game of Fifteen, Mystic Square and more) is a sliding puzzle. It has 15 square tiles numbered 1 to 15 in a frame that is 4 tile positions high and 4 tile positions wide, with one unoccupied position.
To find the pattern, one must construct an analog to Pascal's triangle, whose entries are the coefficients of (x + 2) row number, instead of (x + 1) row number. There are a couple ways to do this. The simpler is to begin with row 0 = 1 and row 1 = 1, 2. Proceed to construct the analog triangles according to the following rule:
In number theory, a pentatope number is a number in the fifth cell of any row of Pascal's triangle starting with the 5-term row 1 4 6 4 1, either from left to right or from right to left. It is named because it represents the number of 3-dimensional unit spheres which can be packed into a pentatope (a 4-dimensional tetrahedron ) of increasing ...
Denniston thus classified the 455 triples into 35 rows of 13 triples each, each row being the orbit of a given triple under the permutation. [22] In order to construct a Sylvester solution, no single-week Kirkman solution could use two triples from the same row, otherwise they would eventually collide when the permutation was applied to one of ...
Whereas each entry in Pascal's triangle is the sum of the two entries in the above row, each entry in the Leibniz triangle is the sum of the two entries in the row below it. For example, in the 5th row, the entry (1/30) is the sum of the two (1/60)s in the 6th row.
Numbers 3, 6, and 8 are readily given. The task is to put remaining numbers of 1-12 (3×4=12) to their places so that the sums are correct. The puzzle has a unique solution found stepwise as follows: The missing numbers are 1,2,4,5,7,9,10,11,12. Usually it is best to start from a row or a column with fewest missing numbers.
(consider the magic sums of the rows/columns .. equal mass at an equal distance balance). The second property that can be calculated is the moment of inertia . Summing the individual moments of inertia (distance squared from the center × the cell value) gives the moment of inertia for the magic square, which depends solely on the order of the ...
[15] Occasionally a hexachord may be combined with an inverted or transposed version of itself in a special case which will then result in the aggregate (complete set of 12 chromatic pitches). A row (B ♭ =0: 0 6 8 5 7 e 4 3 9 t 1 2) used by Schoenberg may be divided into two hexachords: B ♭ E F ♯ E ♭ F A // D C ♯ G G ♯ B C
