In the table above, T n = 2 n ( n + 1 ) is the n th triangular number. If 2016 lies in c th column and r th row, find c + r .
For example: T 9 = 4 5 lies in column 3 and row 2, hence the answer is 2 + 3 = 5 .

It's easy to solve that n=63,so we are looking for T 6 3 . Looking at the figure it means that we have to move 2 columns right and 2 rows up from T 6 1 . This lies on row 6 and column 5, so we need to move to row 4 column 8 which gives the answer 8+4=12.
