In each step, element at the upper-right
position gets enlarged, inverts vertically
and reaches the lower-left corner; the existing
element at the lower-left position, is lost
and a new small element appears at the upper-

The pins, equal in number to the number of
sides in the main figure are attached to the
midpoint of a side of the main figure in case
of figures (2), (3), (4) and (5). In fig. (1),
these pins are attached to a vertex of the
main f igure.
The simplest triangles are AHG, AIG, AIB,
JFE, CJE and CED i.e. 6 in number.
The triangles composed of two
components each are ABG, CFE, ACJ and EGI
i.e. 4 in number.
The triangles composed of three
components each are ACE, AGE and CFD i.e. 3
in number.
There is only one triangle i.e. AHE
composed of four components.
Therefore, There are 6 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 14
