%N Irregular triangle read by rows: possible numbers of diagonals of convex polyhedra having n vertices.
%C Let n>4 denote the number of vertices. The set of possible numbers of diagonals is the union of sets {(k-1)(n-k-4), ..., (k-1)(n-(k+6)/2)}, where 1 <= k <= floor((sqrt(8n-15)-5)/2), and the set {(k-1)(n-k-4), ..., (n-3)(n-4)/2}, where k = floor((sqrt(8n-15)-3)/2). Note that cardinalities of all sets of this union excluding the last one are consecutive triangular numbers.
