T-Total

Highlighted in yellow are 5 numbers in a shape of a T. If I add these five numbers I get the T-total, e.g. 1+2+3+11+20=37

Highlighted in yellow and coloured red is what is called the T-number. This is the highest number in the T

The relationship between the T-number and the T-total

In order to find the relationship between the T-number and the T-total I need to show the numbers in the T algebraically as shown in the diagram below.

This is worked out with the grid size because how you get one square up is by taking 9 because it is a 9*9 grid. If I move left I +1 and if you move right you -1. If I add all the numbers together in the diagram above you get 63 and that is the same wherever the T is on a 9*9 grid.

T-total= 37

                      +5

T-total=42

                      +5

T-total=47

Every time the T moves right the T-total is +5 so this means all the t-totals have a relationship with the 5* table.

So if I * the T-number by 5 I get 100 and then if we go back to diagram that showed T algebraically and use 63 that I worked out from it. Then if I -63 ...
