Pdoggg Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I don't expect 98% of LBR posters to fail. Quote Link to comment

deepthroat Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 PM me the answer.... I'm dying! Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 How about 27? Sorry RX, that is not correct. Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 40 We have a winner! Quote Link to comment
Torurot Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I saw 25, how do you get 40? Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Add those to the 2 groups of small squares ([4x1 + 1] x2 = 10), and you have 40. Forgetting about these small squares, what if it were CHESSBOARD, how many squares? Anyone see a pattern? Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Squares IS the pattern! 1, 4, 9, 16, & etc. I think so, about 99% sure. Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think if one wanted to do this exercise on a Connect 4 board (6X7) it would have to be done manually without handy formulas. Quote Link to comment
Pdoggg Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Nope, the formula would be n2-n, so Quite clever! I reckon a 6X7 matrix would be a Route 67 specialty! Quote Link to comment
