You can make one of the inbetween rows 11 as well and skip the triangles, but I don't think there is enough to do it twice, so it only adds one.

Mathematicians will have to provide the best answer. Maybe I'll dump the question into the GC.com forums. --Dave, The Cow Spots Also, did you know?-The maximum number of caches you can fit in a square mile is 100? Well, that is IF GC.com actually stuck to their .1 "ahem"..."guideline". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
