Title: Math Homework and Q*bert.
Post by: Deozaan on October 24, 2008, 04:46 AM

@!#?@! I've been staring at this Pascal's Triangle^w for so long that I'm starting to see Q*bert^w in it!

Interesting trivia- colour the odd numbered cells black and the evens white and you get the beginnings of a Sierpiński triangle^w, a fractal which can also be generated from the Chaos game^w. Near random chaos in contrast to the beautiful mathematical structure of Pascal's Triangle ;)

Yeah, the Wikipedia article on Pascal's Triangle^w goes into detail on some of the patterns found in that triangle, and I'm discovering a few of them myself from my studies.
