The Square Dilemma


Take fifteen seconds and count the number of squares you see in this image.

Do you believe that if you show this illustration to two other people, the probability that all three individuals will come up with a different answer is quite high?

There are actually 30 squares within the illustration: 16 individual squares, 9 squares made up of 2 x 2 individual squares, 4 squares made up of 3 x 3 individual squares, and the entire image itself is the last square.

What’s the point of this exercise? Even seemingly the most simplistic situations can be surprisingly complex, and a second opinion can shed new light on an old topic.
