Haha 'think before you post' ehy? =) thanks anyway x
No clairey-s, the joke is on you. The answer IS 44, but in base 11 arithmetic - you didn't say I had to use base 10.
No, Gen2, calm down.....Clairey-s was not making a point at you! look at the times of the postings and remember it usually takes a minute to type a response and there's then often a minute's delay before they appear. She was saying she should have thought about the answer for 5 minutes before she posted her question.
I can only see 40 (base 10)
Base 10 arithmetic this time:

16 triangles made up of 1 small triangle
16 triangles made up of 2 small triangles
8 triangles made up of 4 small triangles
4 triangles made up of 8 small triangles

Total = 48

Scrub that and totaly ignore my ramblings - I think i'm going down with the flu or something. Whatever it is I'm not thinking clearly tonight. think I'll log off and get an early night.

gen2 is quite right that there are 44 triangles and the explanation for it is spot on; but has simply made an error in the totting up - hardly surprising if not feeling great.
Finally got it- 44 (base 10)
