Triangle Numbers (Posted on 2003-08-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Triangle numbers are :

1,3,6,10,15,21,28.

Somebody tells you a random positive integer of any size. Is there a quick way to work out if it is a triangle number or not (in other words, without going through all of the triangle numbers untill you get to a number as high or higher as the integer you've been told)?
