Square Brain Puzzle

For those who thrive on a mathematical challenge, here’s one more to test your brainpower. How many squares can you count in this image?

There are a total of 34 suqares watch and count carefully you’ll see it
To count the total number of squares in the given image, let’s break it down systematically:

1. Identify the basic grid:
   • The image consists of a 4×4 grid, which means it contains 16 small squares.
2. Count squares of different sizes:
   • 1×1 squares: Each small cell in the 4×4 grid counts as an individual square, so there are 16.
   • 2×2 squares: These are formed by combining four adjacent 1×1 squares. A 3×3 grid of such squares is possible, leading to 9 squares.
   • 3×3 squares: These are formed by combining nine adjacent 1×1 squares. A 2×2 grid of such squares is possible, leading to 4 squares.
   • 4×4 squares: The entire outer square counts as one big square, so there is 1 such square.
3. Count the two additional inner squares:
   • The two medium-sized squares inside the grid contribute 2 additional squares.
   • Each of these squares has a smaller inner square, contributing 2 more squares.

Summing all:

• 16+9+4+1+2+2=3416 + 9 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 3416+9+4+1+2+2=34

Thus, the total number of squares in the image is 34.
