In time past I've been issued with sets of installation plans with less info on them than that diagram ;-)

This is one of those multiple answer ones that does the rounds and depends on your angle of attack... within the actual pic itself 16 would be the answer but as I worded it 'In the above, how many squares do you see' this can also be taken as everthing above.

Its normal for the mind to focus on the picture as its the main part of the post but the answer could be argued to be 27 or 28 again depending if you look at the whole including written parts.

16- withing picture
3- full-stops (which in the font style are clearly squares)
8- in the sentence (various)
1- finally the word 'squares'

Ill accept then 16 or 28

Noted viewers on phones may have difficulty seeing the shape of the small decimals but I did increase the font to help out.

18 if you include the words

15 using the match sticks. Where is the 16th? Are you including the White square or the word?

 

[Darkwood]

Read post 15 ... if your just doing matches then the last one is a 3 x 3 bottom left -thats the one that gets missed alot.
