How many squares?

Edit: This is formatted to be viewed on a larger screen. They may look like rectangles on a small screen but that's not the intent.

There are actually 40 squares present. If you can't locate them all and would like to see the solution, here is the link http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t621/03bluecoupe/squares_solution_zpsa2499794.gif

31?

 

[03bluecoupe]

'fraid not.

If anyone gives up and would like the link to the proof, shoot me a PM.

 

[03bluecoupe]

Actually, I'll give the answer and see if folks can find them all...

There are 40 - the offer for the link to the proof stills stands.

I'm sure it's the aspect ration of my monitor but I only count 6 unless they have changed the definition of a square I count 40 rectangles

don't be so literal, I'm sure it's your screen.

I was going to ask about that as well

I didn't look at the jpeg on a phone, only a laptop. Looks fine on a large screen, can't speak for a small one. It's not a trick question. On a large screen they're squares. Sorry, maybe a phone forum wasn't a good place for it.

All in fun 03... all in fun. I've seen that puzzle before.. it does take a bit of thinking.

Oh, nothing personal taken. But thanks. I just got to thinking that it may look really funky on a small, lower res screen.

I posted the link to the solution in the first post so you can look if/when you choose to.

Found the 40 on the 1st try!

 

[03bluecoupe]

Congrats! That's highly unusual!

1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + (1 + 4) x 2 = 40
