Note that in the below diagram the number of horizontal line segments in the n-th row equals A001227(n), the number of partitions of n into consecutive parts, so we can find the partitions of n into consecutive parts as follows: consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the n-th row of the diagram, for example: for n = 15 consider the vertical blocks of numbers that start exactly in the 15th row. They are [15], [8, 7], [6, 5, 4] and [5, 4, 3, 2, 1], equaling the 15th row of the above triangle.
