Just as an afterthought...

look at the rotating triangular pyramids and count the number of balls for the different layers

top layer: 1 ball
top two layers: 4 balls
top three layers: 10 balls
etc.

you can figure out the number of balls for any number of layers n by
n(n+1)(n+2)/6

e.g. if n=3
3(4)(5)/6 = 10
