Answer / guest

There are total 364 balls.

As there are 12 balls along one side, it means that there
are 12 layers of balls. The top most layer has 1 ball. The
second layer has 3 (1+2) balls. The third layer has 6
(1+2+3) balls. The fourth layer has 10 (1+2+3+4) balls. The
fifth layer has 15 (1+2+3+4+5) balls. Similarly, there are
21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66 and 78 balls in the remaining layers.

Hence, the total number of balls are

= 1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 21 + 28 + 36 + 45 + 55 + 66 + 78

= 364 balls

100 Gold Coins Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain. What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
