You are right! Every time when I translate from Greek, I make this mistake :)
fixed. the official name is Tetractys
For those who didn't cheat, good for you... but I'm posting my explaination. Tetractys is a triangle with "mystical qualities" thought to represent earth, air, fire and water... its the triangle with ten points arranged in 4 rows - one on top,2 on the second, three on the third and four on the bottom... but no points for me b/c I cheated and used wikipedia.
