In this investigation I will be trying to find an equation, which will allow me to work out the sum of numbers inside a 'T' shape on a number grid. Here is an example of what I am trying to find out: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 So, I would like to find out an equation that will enable me to find out the total of all the numbers in red and also which will allow me to vary the size of the grid and the T. The first comment that I must make is that there cannot be certain T numbers, for example there cannot be a T1 because there is no number to the left of T1, neither can there be any T down the right or left sides of the grid. Also there cannot be any T numbers past 19 as there are not enough boxes below the T number for the vertical part of...
