NPR Sunday Puzzle for Dec. 5:

From Sam Loyd, a puzzle-maker from a century ago:

Draw a 4 x 4 square.

Divide it into 16 individual boxes.

Next, draw a diagonal line from the middle of each side of the square to the middle of the adjoining side, forming a diamond.

And finally, draw a long diagonal line from each corner of the square to the opposite corner, forming an X.

How many triangles can you find in this figure?
