This means for example that if the T number is 20 my formula predicts a T Total of 5× 20- 63= 37 which agrees with my earlier calculations. Part 2 Equation for different grid sizes To figure out an equation for different grid sizes, I have to find the relationship between grid sizes and the T total. I will now let S= Grid Size. I get this T T Total= n+n-S+n-2S+n-2S+1+n+2S-1= 5n-7S This means that the equation is T total= 5n-7S where S is the grid size so if for example the T number is 24 and the grid size is 11 then the T total will be (5× 24- 11× 7)= 43. I can check whether this works. 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 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 The totals...
