FORMULA
To get the next row in the triangle, find the rightmost zero entry in the current row (which may be to the left of the existing entries). In this zero is in position k (counting from the right), change it from 0 to k and subtract 1 from all the entries to its right.
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
