I got 37, but since people keep getting 40, I probably overlooked a few

Wait just read above posts
If the squares 'don't have to be white inside', and where the lines meet counts, then what about the tiny black squares that make up those lines? Arguably, you could say those are squares that are connected, like the other ones, except without lines, because lines don't necessarily matter right 
And the pixels that make up the black and white are squares
And you could split the pixels into smaller squares, if you wanted to and had proper equipment to see this small of a square
So uh
My new answer is ∞

∞ is the correct answer, well done!

I think that there are lots of squares I win

I winned first!

No be quiet mine was more exact

you were along the right lines( ) 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.

The idea that being right-brained means you get this automatically is pretty silly.
Our senses are shared between the sides and one person will not use more of a specific one.

You didn't provide proper instructions for this test and therefore set us up to fail on it.

If you re-read it you will notice i never actually said it's easier for right brained people(just that we don't ignore the lines so quickly) i think the chances of a right brained person getting it are only slightly higher.

How are the instructions improper? They would have been if i'd said how many boxes are there

All pixels are squares, but not all squares are pixels.

wow man thats uncreative

So, do the squares being invaded by other squares count as squares?

if it's a square then it counts and you just called it a square    so, yes it does count

The answer is 102400.

Well since the universe is a finite size there isn't infinite, just a lot.
