Re: Count the squares!

My answer is whatever number the squares are in the picture.  tongue

But seriously, it has to be somewhere between 40-60

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.

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

Proper instructions would say something like "there is no restriction on what squares can be counted, as long as they are squares"

And even if we weren't going to say infinity, all the artifacts on the image make up squares at points.  tongue

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
