This is called the stair total. The stair total for this stair shape is 25 + 26 + 27 + 35 + 36 + 45 = 194. To investigate the relationship between the stair total and the position of the stair shape, I will use the far-left bottom square as my stair number: This is always the smallest number in the stair shape. It is 25 for this stair shape. I will then translate this 3-stair shape to different positions around this 10 x 10 grid: 46 36 37 26 27 28 The stair-total for this stair shape is 26 + 27 + 28 + 36 + 37 + 46 = 200 87 77 78 67 68 69 The stair-total for this stair shape is 67 + 68 + 69 + 77 + 78 + 87 = 446 88 78 79 68 69 70 The stair-total for this stair shape...
