Which makes it my go I guess...

So here ya go, this should be enough clues to solve it:
- it's a triangular number (which means if you had this number of, say, circles, you'd be able to arrange them into a triangular formation, like 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc)
- it's between 50 and 200
- it's got a 6 in it (but not two 6's)

If you don't know (or care) what a triangular number is, sure take a guess. (Anyone who tries to go 56, 60, 61, 62...69, 76, 86, 96, 106, 116, etc and name them all is cheating!!!)

As 496 does not lie between 50 and 200, I'm afraid to say that your answer is incorrect, sorry

Nnnnope, 196 ain't a triangular number.

I can tell ya there's two triangular numbers between 50 and 200 that contain a 6. And one of those is 66, which is not the answer.

136, correctomundo!!!!!!!

136 is the 16 triangular number. WHich means if you have 136 objects (ideally circles) you can place them so that they all form a triangular formation, with 16 circles along each side.

Your go Steph
