Primetimer July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 The Wonder Woman Marathon Diary reaches the finish line, and then tries a last-minute show reboot. It doesn't take. Read the story Link to comment
Jeffurry July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 I *loved* the alien pyramid episode as a kid and was waiting with eager anticipation for you to cover it. As soon as you reminded me that there were 99 pieces I absolutely was curious to know if it could be divided that way. Link to comment
JTMacc99 July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 I wasn't curious if I could divide it into 99 pieces until you told me I couldn't. Now I have to head off to Google to find out what are my actual choices in the vicinity of 99. Link to comment
MarkHB July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 So far as I can tell, each level n has n² tetrahedrons. The top level has 1, the second level adds 4 more, the third level adds 9 more, etc. That comes to either 91 (6 levels as shown in the photo) or 140 (7 levels). If anyone is better at spacial geometry than I am (highly likely) please feel free to correct me. 1 Link to comment
Monty July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 That's only counting tetrahedrons on the outside, right? If it's solid all the way through, there could be a lot more. Link to comment
LAFR July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 Seeing the images from the alien pyramid episode gave me a flashback to nightmares I had as I kid. That episode scared me and I think it may have been the last one I ever watched as a result. Link to comment
Kat July 22, 2015 Share July 22, 2015 Thank you Monty for this trip down memory lane. It's been a hoot following along with you! 1 Link to comment

Actually, it turns out that I was wrong: you can't evenly divide a tetrahedron into a bunch of smaller tetrahedrons. I won't pretend to understand the math on that page, and instead will accept it as true since I saw it on the Internet. I've really enjoyed this series, btw! 1 Link to comment
tv-is-addicting July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Best Marathon Diary Ever! Thank you! Now start on Lindsay Wagner [No relation to Lyle] 's Bionic Woman. Oscar! Rudy! Robots whose faces are ripped off in a fight with Jaime Sommers. That's all I remember I was only six. 58 episodes. 1 Link to comment
Simon Boccanegra July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I was going to say we know it's the '70s because the adorable monkey sidekick was a thing for a while then. Friends made a halfhearted attempt to bring it back. Link to comment
