    alright smart aleck, just pretend that each one of those lines segments were all equal in length, then determine how many squares.

    depends how you look at it....... I can come up with as few as 17. If part of one square is used to form another then the one isn't really a square and shouldn't be counted should it ?


    doing that I count the big outside square and the 16 smallest..........the others are then "L " shaped

    Wow! a lot of guesses so far (but none of them correct). For this exercise a square is a four sided shape that is equal in size on all four sides.

    OK I just got 51. But I got all the other guesses at least once each as well. If 51 isn't right I am gonna wait for the answer.
