message: The note that 153 is a truncated triangular number got my attention.  This is true, and though I've never heard of the concept before, I was able to list all the truncated triangular numbers quite quickly, just doing my arithmetic on paper.  The math is not very hard.  The complete list is: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 36, 66, 105, 153, and 666.
So this leads me to ask a few questions:
* Where did the concept come from?  If I wanted to add a citation, where would I start to research this?
* Why is the wording so cagy, in talking about 6 known TTNs?  It is easy to list 9, and to prove that the list is complete; surely the primary source knows this.
* Is the concept actually an important fact about 153?  The articles about 105 and 666 do not mention this property, and the OEIS doesn't have the sequence.
