A pyramid of balls (Posted on 2002-08-02) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Consider a triangular pyramid of balls, constructed by placing each ball (except those on the bottom) in the hollow formed by the three balls under it. If such a pyramid has 12 balls on the side of the bottom level, how many balls in total does it contain?
