Thread: some mathematical stimulation anyone???

Looper will get it.

39?

looks like 32

10....

40 .....

^Doh!

I forgot the biggest one!

easy, 17 or 19

^Congratulations butters.

You are way past the 1/3 mark and you have nearly found half of the squares!

You can have a rest at the halfway mark and then keep going!

I get 12 x 5 = 60

There are also 5 intersections in the first picture and 28 in the second.

The answer depends on what you assume the question to be.

The 4 square box equals 5 .

How many 4 square boxes are there that intersect? x 5...

The four square box is five boxes, the four small ones inside, and the one box containing those four. Its not how many 4 square boxes there are, its how many boxes in total there are.

Therefore the big puzzle is 40.

Looper nearly got it, and realised his error after I gave the correct answer.
