Second hint, out of spoiler boxes since it's really more of an instruction.

Got a confirmed solve, but managed to find a pattern one lower than the answer, by thinking oblong not triangle.

Isca - intrigued by your solve. BUT please use spoilers if you are giving away any minor or major hints.

Although I got sidetracked as I managed to get it down to nine, again using oblongs instead of triangles. Hey ho...

Seems that I may have stumbled across the correct answer on this one.

I used rectangles for the solve, but it was accepted
