Oh God, no. But if it's going to include squares not just in the picture then there would be trillions.

How is 42 the answer to everything? If it was, everyone would get full marks in exams.

dont give me none of this literal thinking outside of the box stuff
unless by "how many squares are there" you mean in the world in which case there are too many to sit down and count out

Re: Count the squares!

If it's not 40, it's gotta be 42.

(I'm kidding, but if that's right, YAY  big_smile )

Re: Count the squares!

None; they are rounded rectangles.

If I'm wrong, the answer must be 1; you said "square" only once.  tongue

Re: Count the squares!

you were along the right lines( tongue ) with the pixel stuff, i never said the inside of the squares had to be white, nor did i say they had to have an outline, so why not count where all the lines meet?
this is where being right-brained can be fun, since we look at the entire picture, instead of splitting it up, and ignoring the lines, so quickly.
