If you have an 8x8 checkered square (i.e., a chess board) how many squares would there be in total?

The size of the squares don't matter really but Think about how many squares can hide in side a bigger square. Wanna try again?

The correct answer is the one right below you. Thanks for trying though.

No it is 204. There are many squares inside if an 8x8 checkered square. Thanks for guessing though. I would have put a picture up to let you see but it won't let me.

You are absolutely correct. How did you do that so easily. It took me a while.

That would be 64 or is this a tricked out question maybe?

It isn't a trick really but the answer isn't 64 care to try again. This is one of those that requires more though at least it did for me.
