Ever faced a puzzle that seems straightforward but turns out to be tricky? Here’s one circulating on WhatsApp: Count the squares. While it sounds easy, it’s surprisingly challenging!
WhatsApp, a popular messaging app, became a hub for sharing puzzles during the pandemic. Among them, a grid puzzle gained traction. The task? Count the squares accurately.
But it’s not as simple as it seems. You must account for overlapping squares, squares within squares, big squares, and small squares. Geometry knowledge helps: a square has four equal sides. There are 40 squares in total, including those formed by combinations of smaller squares.
So, if you didn’t find all 40, take another look. It’s a reminder that sometimes the simplest tasks can be the most puzzling.
