    Alice starts with 64 stamps. She gives Ben and Carl stamps equal to the number each has, which is 0 since they start with none. Then Ben and Carl give Alice stamps equal to her starting amount of 64. This cycle of exchanging stamps leaves each with 64 stamps. The 8x8 checkboard has 64 squares. There are 138 triangular numbers represented by the formula (n(n+1))/2. Plugging in 138 for n yields 9,558 dots for the 138th triangular number.
