This is a classic brain teaser! The image shows a grid with 16 small squares, but the trick is to count the larger squares formed by combining smaller ones.
Here’s the breakdown:
-
There are 16 small squares (1×1).
-
9 medium squares (2×2).
-
4 larger squares (3×3).
-
1 large square (4×4) that includes the entire grid.
Total: 16 (1×1) + 9 (2×2) + 4 (3×3) + 1 (4×4) = 30 squares in total.
