Nice!

Yes, another name for the sequence is the triangular numbers, and if you do it right, you can put two of them together into a square.

The triangular numbers are one of many sequences of figurate numbers that were first 'invented' by lining up numbers into pictures like you did.

It's also now clear to me that each box causes a contained cat to have a colored patch of fur around one eye.

I believe dms1972 ____ that there is within you ____ ____ the capacity to believe, that in a past existence - you were as angelically designated, expected to coin the sign of pi.

However, I do not believe that ____ ____ ____ the Lord was pleased with your work.

Interpreted meaningfully, the sign pi is either a request for qualfication (unqualifiably ____), or a denial of service ____ intended as insult ____ ____ justifiably -(pre-emptively ____ ____ ____ ____ denied)-.
