Puzzle: Are you a good observer?

[acidburnfx]

16 squares --- 8 small ones, 8 double the dimensions of the smalls.

There are of course numerous square-like shapes, but those have intersecting line segments that negate the "squaritude" of the geometry. e.g. the L shaped pieces, with the addition of a small square, could appear as one double dimensioned square, but it really is not a square, it is two separate geometric figures.

Unless this is shown on a screen with square pixels. then of course there are thousands upon thousands of squares.

Try to look again! The observation skill is very important. It can make you a more perceptive person. If you find it necessary, take a piece of paper and list all the squares, this will help you.

a) 40

b) 41 if this is a trick question and there was an attempt to make the blue background a square as well.

c) 42 if you can include a border in the shape of a square.

d) 43 if it includes b and c from above.

Creative ways to think! You had already done this puzzle before?

Creative ways to think! You had already done this puzzle before?

no this exact one, but ive done some similar to this.

 

[acidburnfx]

My answer is 56
1 - the black border containing the whole pattern 4x4
18 - medium Black border squares inside the large square
8- tiny black border squares
9 - squares combining 4 squares together 2x2’s
4 - 3x3’s
16 - aqua blue squares
Totalling = 56

Thanks again Acidburnfx

This border that you are counting as a square is not exactly a square. Look again, it's just 2 lines, right? Anyway, it's an interesting way to think about the puzzle.

Hello friend I saw it many times and came to the conclusion of 16.
Am I right.
Glgl.:ciao:

The puzzle is also not so simple as you are thinking. Remember that we are dealing with logical reasoning and it requires a little more of your perception capacity. Now look again and see if you are able to solve it.

 

[KRANKES]

I found 42

 

[jcxmendes]

I managed to count 39!:idea::idea:

 

[acidburnfx]

how did you arrive at 40???

Don't be shy! How many squares did you find?

 

[acidburnfx]

You guys are really good, cuz i can only see 33:toilet:

I have serious doubts! I think most people already look in the comments before taking the test, as it often happens on news portals and social networks.

Don't be shy! How many squares did you find?

33 Final Answer lol

 

[HerbPuffer]

1---4x4- whole picture
16-1x1- 4 columns, 4 rows
8---1x1- in middle of picture
2---4x4- in middle of picture
9---4x4- three in each section of 2 rows x 2 columns
4---3x3

So after I take about twenty minutes or so going back and forth counting and recounting and coming up w/40(or double that if you wanna double the count cuz of the thick borders(which wouldn't be double but since that's all wrong anyway, it doesn't matter.lol)), I come to the conclusion, I done messed up.

Not all the "squares" we think we're seeing are squares. I believe our minds are just filling in the voids for us when need be.

Lemme count again, I'll be back.

 

[HerbPuffer]

I'm going to go w/17. FINAL ANSWER.

1-- black border of puzzle
4-- bluish squares down the right side
4-- bluish squares down the left side
8-- bluish squares in the center

Did I get it right, did I, did I? Huh, huh, huh? Did I?

 

[arenaci]

I go with 43

 

[sn0112]

I think this is a trick question. You can only see 16 squares, or 17 if you count the outside border.

In the middle two columns you can only see 8 small squares.

I'm probably totally wrong

 

[Aestheticzz]

I see 40 squares in the image.

 

[CallmeFloppy]

40 if you count just the black lines.

56 if you count the full blue squares (uncut by a black line)

80 if you count a black outline squares and blue inside squares allowing for the black lines to cut a blue line

81 if you count the blue square its all on.

This is a feature that truly unites all great poker players, because a good observer can make a difference at decisive moments.

Are you a good observer? So, tell me how many squares we can observe in the figure below.

Let the games begin!

When do we get the answer?

 

[linf]

I quickly counted 40 and got bored. maybe more, but definitely not less

 

[acidburnfx]

When do we get the answer?

If you want the answer, can i send it to you by private message without interfering in the puzzle so that other people can also participate, is it okay for you?

I would greatly appreciate that. I will not interfere.

Thank you much, sir.

 

[acidburnfx]

I would greatly appreciate that. I will not interfere.

Thank you much, sir.

I sent for you! Check it out and after that, tell me sincerely what you think of the puzzle, for example, it was easy or difficult for you. I would like to hear your opinion.

Please can you send the solution to me too. I will not interfere on this thread and will give you my feedback

It's fine! I sent for you.

 

[Garfield52]

I agree with the people that said there are 40 squares assuming you are counting only the black ones.

 

[acidburnfx]

40 if you count just the black lines.

56 if you count the full blue squares (uncut by a black line)

80 if you count a black outline squares and blue inside squares allowing for the black lines to cut a blue line

81 if you count the blue square its all on.

Did you already know this puzzle? I already explained above that the border that you are counting as a square is not exactly a square, because it has only two lines. Anyway, it's an interesting way to think about the puzzle, because this already demonstrates that you are a good observer.
