Sums on a Triangle
      a
     / \
    b - c
   / \ / \
  d - e - f
 / \ / \ / \
g - h - i - j
  1. Can you place the numbers 1-6 at the locations a-f on the triangle, such that every triangle (there are 5: abc, bde, bed, cef, adf) has a different sum, by adding the corners of each triangle?
    [This is not too hard, and it's interesting to note that once a solution is found, the additional three sums of the sides of the a-d-f triangle are also different. This is similar to the "Sums on a Cube" question of putting a different number on each side of a cube to create unique sums at the corners.]
  2. Can you place the numbers 1-10 at the locations a-j on the triangle, such that every triangle (there are 13) has a different sum? Consecutive sums?
