About a year and a half into my fort. 100 population. Decided to upload for suggestions, comments, etc.
My current megaproject is the pyramid I am erecting that will connect at the South end of the fort.
If I build a pyramid that tops at one block and that block stays centered the entire way down, I will need 1+2n squares for each floor where n is the floor level descending down from the top. If I build it over 20 z levels as projected, that means that the bottom level will be a length and width of 41 squares each giving it a square area of 1,681 blocks. Using definite integrals with 1+2n lower lim = 1 upper lim = 20, definite integrals gives the total as 418. Which means that if I square 418 I can find the total volume in blocks of my pyramid, which will be 174,724 blocks.
Hopefully, this is the largest pyramid constructed so far on DF; Although I have a feeling someone else has probably got a fort with a pyramid that can kick mine's ass.

Using the math wrong ;)
One warning signal should've been the fact that your pyramid is smaller than a 41x41x21 block of stone...which contains only 35301 blocks.
You're mistake is that you're summing the lengths and squaring that sum instead of squaring the lengths and summing the resulting areas. A basic drawing would probably emphasize the point well, but alas, I have no chalkboard.

There are a lot of threads about pyramid building, I;m almost certain they have you beat.
