[color=navy][size=14pt]The answer is 40.
Here is how.
Let us assume those little squares do not exist. We have,
Readily apparent squares=4^2=16.
We can get a 3^2 square in four places. This equals 16+4=20
We can also divide the square into four places. To give us 20+4=24.
We can also get a cross composed of four intersecting squares. This gives us 24+4=28.
There is a square in the middle of the bigger square. This gives us 28+1=29
Then there is the square itself. Giving us 29+1=30.

We can now recognize the little squares. It is readily apparent that they add up to ten. Four in two places. Plus the outer frame in two places.
This gives 30+10=40.

Since the question focused on the black squares, we can safely assume that we do not need the frames, lol. Therefore, our final answer is 40.

Q.E.D

I dare any mathematician here to prove me wrong, if not, well. Congratulations to those who got forty. If there is, well. Let's see your evidence. cool[/size]

so you are right but your explanation is quite hard to grab...

so here...

.5x.5 = 8
1x1 = 18
2x2 = 9
3x3 = 4
4x4 = 1
total = 40

Its sure simple. Its 27 squares in there, the complete box is made of 16 square divisions The central box there is majorly of 2 divisions and minorly of 8 divisions and finally the complete box is also a square which is 1 In Summary: 16+8+2+1= 27

1/2x1/2=8
1x1=18
2x2=9
3x3=8
4x4=1
correction:3x3=4

Re: Let's See How Intelligent You Are by nikkiehan(op): 1:18pm On May 25, 2015
This is d ans to the test

we have 40squares in d diagram,
below is how we got it

Der r 5 defined square types in d
diagram. U av to do a visualizatn to
isolate each of d defined square
types. Let d largest square av sides 4
by 4 units. D 5 square types r den 4
by 4 units, 3 by 3 units, 2 by 2 units,
nd 1 by 1 unit,
Nd also 1/2 by 1/2 unit. Visualizing
well, we av ONE 4 by 4 units square,
FOUR 3 by 3 units squares, NINE 2 by
2 units squares, EIGHTEEN 1 by 1 unit
squares, and EIGHT 1/2 by 1/2 unit
squares. Collating therefore, we'v got
1 + 4 + 9 + 18 + 8 = 40 squares in d
diagram.


below is anoda explanation incase u
dnt get d first one
1 big square containing 18 squares
including two squares at d middle,
inside d 2 squares centered at d
middle we have anoda 8 squares
making 27 squares. Leaving d top n d
bottom column we anoda 2 squares
makin 29 , dividing d big square into
four equal size we got another
4squares making 33squares, leaving
d left n d right rows we have anoda
2squares at d middle makin
35squares, Leaving d top, bottom, left,
n d right column we av anoda one
square making 36squares, tracing out
3 by 3 small squares to all sides u will
get anoda four makin 40squares.

many people got it but I will jst
mention d top ten

I will soon post a math equation to solve it. But. . . . yeah. That's pretty much it.
