I simply worked backward from what it looked like I needed to count in
order for the total to be right.  There are three points on one side
of the vertical axis which can serve as the peak of a triangle, I
needed the number three, so I decided that was how they were to be
counted.  I could be as easily convinced it's really 2 such triangles
+ 1 of something else.

BTW, those are some gorgeous pictures on your page!
