| May 30 at 7:18 | comment | added | Lezzup | @Tanenthor, you're counting the number of unit squares in each larger square, and therefore you're counting the unit squares over and over again. For example, the 6x6 square contains only four squares with area 5x5, and one 5x5 square counts as one square: size of the square doesn't matter. | |
| May 30 at 5:14 | comment | added | Tanenthor | I might misunderstand, but surely shouldn't the 6x6 square result in (6x6)x1 + (5x5)x4 + (4x4)x9 + (3x3)x16 + (2x2)x25 + (1x1)x36 so 560 squares within the 6x6 alone? | |
