What I did was I labeled all of the intersections of the lines. From there I envisioned triangles from any three corners where the sides from all points met. For instance, if the outside corners were labeled A-B-C that's one triangle. If the three lines intersecting the line A-B are labeled B1, B2, and B3 then you can have a triangle of A-B1-C, A-B2-C, A-B3-C, B1-B2-C, B1-B3-C, B1-B-C, B2-B3-C, B2-B-C, and B3-B-C. That's nine just on that one side of A-B-C. You get the same on with the line A-C. Then there are those made up of the nine points in the middle. Hope that illuminates the problem.

No, he's right... the answer is 64. More generally, for problems of this type the answer is (n+1)^3, where n is the number of lines drawn from each corner. In this case n = 3, so (3 + 1)^3 = 64.

Try it with pen and paper, except instead of drawing three lines, draw one. If n = 1, then (1 + 1)^3 = 8, which is easily verifiable. Then let n = 2, and try again.

Thanks for the mathmatical formula, I knew there was one math genius on here. Hey I did not get it right the first time but I did not know the formula.
