Abstract: Mel Nathanson recorded the size distribution of iterated sumsets of four natural numbers chosen from a large interval of integers. He observed that the most frequent sizes were not evenly distributed, but had gaps between them, and that these gaps were consecutive triangular numbers. We explain this phenomenon in full detail.
