Knowing what you know now, you could probably find one which is very apparent. The other is extremely well hidden.
Let's look at the one that is very apparent.
Look on page 155 where Gann is discussing soybean prices on the 1 to 33 square chart (the chart that most of us refer to as the Square of Nine chart).
He notes that the time period is in the 253rd month from Dec.
28, 1932 (January, 1954).
Got it now?
Look on the list I made up of the triangular numbers. You will find 253 opposite the number 22 so 253 is the triangle of 22. Nowhere here does Gann say that 253 is a triangular number.
But you and I now know that it is!
Why he chose the triangle of 22, or the time period of 253
months, I'm not sure, but I know it is the number of Robert Gordon, Gann's fictional character in his novel (The Tunnel Thru the Air).
There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet and there are 22 chapters in the Book of Revelations It is also a pyramid number, something we will look at a little closer at a later date.
We will look at that number, 253, again when we look at the single digit numbering system and the TELEOIS of the triangle.
Now about that number which is well hidden.
In Book I-"The Cycle of Mars" I came up with the number 133 in connection with some planetary work.
In Book III-"The Book With No Name," I noted that Gann had subtracted some parts of the circle from 436. That work was on page 2 of his workout on "Soybeans, Price Resistance Levels."
What was interesting about that paragraph was that all the
figures were natural numbers, except for one, the number 236.25, but when that number is subtracted from 436 we get the approximate low on soybeans in February, 1949.
Actually the high on soybeans in 1948 was 436.75, but Gann rounded off his prices when placing those prices on his Square of Nine chart, etc. which only shows natural numbers.
When subtracting 236.25 from 436.75 we get 200.5. The actual low on beans was 201.5.
In Book III I put down the numbers:
133, 91, 236.25
and asked for a PATTERN.
Can you make it?
(The 133 is from planetary work in connection with the high and there is no need to explain that here as it was explained in Book
I-"The Cycle of Mars.")
I noted that Gann had divided the circle by 64 so that 360 divided by 64 is 5.625.
So let's add that number to the list:
133, 91, 5.625, 236.25 PATTERN now?
Subtract 91 from 133.
How about now?
133 minus 91 is 42 and 42 times 5.625 is 236.25 and that is the number Gann subtracted from 436 to get his low!
Look at the Square of Nine chart. Both 133 (the planetary point) and 91 are on the same angle.
I noted that 91 was a triangular number and TELEOIS and that 91 was 13 times 7. I did not go into details of how to make triangular numbers as it would have taken me far afield.
After reading this book you can see how far afield it would have taken me!
But, you ask, why did you use the triangle of 13?
From the high of 436 to the low of 201.5 was 56 weeks, but that can also be read as 13 months and the triangle of 13 is 91.
As I noted above, this was very well hidden. We will see another hidden number during that time period at a later date. But for now that would take us far afield.

Some writers believe that the double triangle of Solomon as
mentioned in Gann's book, "The Tunnel Thru the Air," is two actual triangles, the apex of one at the top and the apex of the other at the bottom.
When a circle is drawn around them the six points of the two triangles touch the circle so that the circle is divided into 6 parts of 60 degrees each.
That can be done, but no explanation is given to its meaning. We can divide a circle into six parts by using the radius of the circle so that each side of the hexagon equals the radius.
And that's interesting and maybe it has some meaning, but I can't see any evidence of it in the Gann material, except maybe in the hexagon itself. But, I believe there is another meaning to the
"double triangle."
There is another mention of the triangular number 666 in the Bible besides the one in the Book of Revelations. It is found in I Kings, Chapter 10, Verse 14:
"Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred three score and six talents of gold."
A score is 20 so we can add the above and see that it is 666.
Now let's just list a few triangles and their doubles:
Tri Db
1 2
3 6
6 12
10 20 15 30
Do you recognize the numbers in the second row? If you read my Book IV-"On the Square," you probably do.
They are the geometric means between the successive squares.
They are made by multiplying the square roots of those squares.
For instance, 20 is the geometric mean between the square of 4 (16) and the square of 5 (25).
We made the geometric mean by simply multiplying the square roots, in this case 4x5=20.
Remember that we discovered an easy way to find triangular numbers by simply multiplying the root of the triangle we are trying to find by the next number and dividing by 2. To get the triangle of 4 we multiply 4 times 5 and divide by 2 to get 10.
PATTERN?
Yes, the double triangles equal the geometric means between the squares!
If we multiply two successive numbers and divide by 2 we find a
