Problem Statement

Compute the number of triangles of different sizes which contain the gray triangle in the figure below.
[asy] size(5cm); real n = 4; for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { draw((0.5*i,0.866*i)--(n-0.5*i,0.866*i)); } for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { draw((n-i,0)--((n-i)/2,(n-i)*0.866)); } for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { draw((i,0)--((n+i)/2,(n-i)*0.866)); } filldraw((1.5,0.866)--(2,2*0.866)--(2.5,0.866)--cycle, gray); [/asy]
