Count how many perfect squares of all possible sizes are hidden in the cross of dots below, and post your answer. (A square is counting if any four dots are placed exactly in its respective corners).
(Roger, there's some tilty ones, too.)
I think only 4 tilty ones, though, not 8, so I amend my answer to 13.
14 (10 small ones, 4 big tility ones.)
Oh, wait, I found more tilties.
21.
(Note, it helps if you print it out and actually connect the dots. I hand-did the cross at first, and that is hard to do exactly and obscures some of the square possibilities.)
Tilties? You have agreat way with words Soz.
Thanks!
What about my way with numbers? (Angle angle nudge nudge am I right?)
I'll leave this open for a while to give others a chance before I post the answer, with graphics.
None of course, those are all circles
The answer is 21. Graphics answer to follow...
Im going to have to stick with sozobe. I got 17 too. 9 regular ones, 4 tilty ones and 4 off center tilty ones..... im still looking for more.
~~How do you do that dirty water stuff?????~~
You Know...... just by adding 4 more dots (each in the empty corners) you would probably get 3 times as many squares....
Anyone wanna try???
